Abstract

Abstract:The Romanticization of Arabia and of the noble Arab in the British imagination has long been apparent, exemplified by figures such as Richard Burton and T. E. Lawrence. However, the Romantic origins of British discourses on Arabia have never been fully explored. Tracing the evolution of the Romantic symbols of the ‘Arab’ and ‘Arabia’ in Wordsworth, Byron, and Shelley and their entanglement in racial discourses of the later nineteenth century, this paper describes the mechanics of the discursive construction of the region, arguing that the morphology of the British colonization of the Arabian Peninsula is grounded in Romantic symbolism.

在阿拉伯的英国人：浪漫主义话语的谱系与巴勒斯坦的殖民地建设

摘要：阿拉伯和贵族阿拉伯人在英国人的想象中的罗马化现象长期以来一直很明显，理查德·伯顿和T.E.劳伦斯等人物就是例证。然而，英国关于阿拉伯的浪漫主义话语的起源从未得到充分的探讨。本文追溯了华兹华斯、拜伦和雪莱笔下“阿拉伯”和“阿拉伯”浪漫主义象征的演变及其在19世纪后期种族话语中的纠缠，描述了该地区话语建构的机制，认为英国对阿拉伯半岛殖民的形态是以浪漫主义象征主义为基础的。

期刊介绍： Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
