From the Great Pyramids to the Taj Mahal, the Middle East and India have for centuries lured Westerners to travel and have inspired their architecture, literature, music and fashion. The Orientalists pursues the richest era of this fascination, the mid to late nineteenth century, when American and European artists travelled and painted throughout the Holy Land and India. The highly cinematic images they created suggest a great influence on modern visual culture. Travel, art, geography, cultural perception, and social and military history are all woven through the text. An extensive introduction provides a digestible perspective on the evolution of Orientalism and the rise of Islam and its ever-changing relationship with the West. It is within this context that the author introduces us to Orientalist paintings. The author is well aware of September 11, 2001 and its implications on the book which was being researched and formulated in his mind before the horrific events which unfolded. He does not pretend there are answers to the contemporary Middle East problems, but there are insights to be formed in a careful examination of the past, as any historian well knows. In this regard, what is most astounding about the book is its unusual relevance to present-day geo-politics.

Uniting twelve original studies by scholars of early modern history, literature, and the arts, this collection is the first that foregrounds the dialectical quality of early modern Orientalism by taking a broad interdisciplinary perspective. Dialectics of Orientalism demonstrates how texts and images of the sixteenth and seventeenth century from across Europe and the New World are better understood as part of a dynamic and transformative orientalist discourse rather than a manifestation of the supposed dichotomy between the ‘East’ and the ‘West.’ The volume’s central claim is that early modern orientalist discourses are fundamentally open, self-critical, and creative. Analyzing a varied corpus—from German and Dutch travelogues to Spanish humanist treaties, French essays, Flemish paintings, and English diaries—this collection thus breathes fresh air into the critique of Orientalism and provides productive new perspectives for the study of east-west and indeed globalized exchanges in the early modern world.

"Au Siècle des Lumières l'architecture intérieure, qui tient un rôle primordial dans la quête du bonheur, est soumise au nouvel impératif d'une sensibilité que l'on ose revendiquer. " Renouveler perpétuellement les sensations, (...) faire " frémir l'âme ", telle est désormais l'ambition de tout un chacun. " Aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, quelques architectes et théoriciens, en butte à la suprématie du modèle antique, invoquent de nouvelles sources d'inspiration pour obtenir la variété à laquelle aspirent les riches commanditaires dans le décor intérieur de leurs demeures. Le " goût exotique ", qui désigne le goût des formes d'art et des moeurs des peuples lointains autrement dit des cultures non-occidentales apparaît à même de stimuler l'imagination des créateurs de décors et de leurs spectateurs. Les salons chinois, les boudoirs " à la turque " ou les chambres tendues de " perse " font leur apparition. Comble de la variété, réponse ultime à cette recherche perpétuelle de plaisir et de dépaysement, on rencontre parfois, au sein d'un seul et même appartement, une succession de décors qui transportent le propriétaire des lieux, sans sortir de chez lui, dans des univers différents. De l'Angleterre à la Suède, du Portugal à la Russie, certains de ces décors exotiques, parfois extravagants, sont parvenus jusqu'à nous et continuent d'exercer leur fascinant pouvoir dépaysant sur les visiteurs contemporains. Nostalgie.des origines, d'un monde meilleur fantasmé, ou volonté d'évasion, de fuite hors du temps et de l'espace, ils nous expliquent comment ces aspirations ont pris corps au sein de la sphère privée ; qui étaient ces hommes, princes érudits, artistes ou poètes fortunés, ayant présidé à la création de ces lieux exotiques qui, aujourd'hui encore, nous transportent ailleurs."
