- Double-weighted statement
- This book is the product of six years’ sustained and deliberately interdisciplinary research across nineteenth-century discourses of science, psychology, archaeology, ethnography, stagecraft, reading and book history. This extensive survey of primary materials was underpinned by substantial critical engagement with scholarly literature on Orientalism, Empire, modernity, material culture studies, memory studies, and the history of reading practices in order to register the potentially transformative powers of reading in the context of the emotional, psychological, and material relationships forged with the Arabian Nights in nineteenth-century Britain.
