Reconfiguring and Appropriating Arabic, Persian, and Indic Literary Traditions in Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Britain

Gallien investigates the reconfigurations of literary traditions coming from Islamicate regions of the world by British orientalists. The book is concerned with the logics of orientalist selection, reconfiguration, and appropriation of Islamicate literary canons.

Humanism, English Literature, and the Translation of Greek, 1430–1560

This book challenges the assumption that fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century English literature was minimally affected by the rebirth of Greek scholarship in the Italian Quattrocento. English translations from Greek shed new light on the formal, political, and confessional agendas underpinning translation and humanism in early modern England.

Writing Sin in the German Lands, 1050–1215

This book is about the relationship between dealing with sin and writing poetry in the Middle Ages; focusing particularly on twelfth-century Germany, it discusses how people performed penance and thought about their sin through the close consideration of literary texts written in German.
