“Double Critique” and the Sufi Praxis of Travel in Leila Ahmed’s A Border Passage and Fatema Mernissi’s Scheherazade Goes West
This article focuses on two twentieth-century Anglophone Arab women writers’ accounts of their travels to “the West”: Leila Ahmed’s A Border Passage: From Cairo to America—A Woman’s Journey (1999), and Fatema Mernissi’s Scheherazade Goes West: Different Cultures, Different Harems (2001). While their engagement with orientalist conceptions of the harem has received some attention, how and why they deploy Sufi texts, concepts, and cosmologies to ad…

Transculturation and Islamicate “English” daughters in Elizabeth Marsh’s The Female Captive: A Narrative of Facts, Which happened in Barbary in the Year 1756
This article assesses the transcultural subject formation of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British girls and women who navigated between abjection, accommodation, and assimilation while held captive in the Maghreb, the westernmost region of the classical Islamic world, for months, years, or even a lifetime. It does so by considering them in relation to the daughters of renegades – Christian European converts – who were born in the Maghreb a…

“My hopes abroad”: The Global/Local Nexus in The Merchant of Venice
Amazons, Turks, and Tartars in the Gesta Grayorum and The Comedy of Errors
This essay pursues the multiple and contradictory meanings of the signifier ‘Tartar’ in Elizabethan drama by parsing how its classical and historical referents were mapped onto the ‘trouble’ associated with gendered and racialized embodiment in the period, which was further mapped onto the early Anglo–Islamic encounter. It focuses on the imbricated series of cultural performances that constituted the 1594–5 Christmas revels at Gray’s Inn, subsequ…

Habituation Devours Things: Radwa Ashour’s Specters and the E(n)strangement of Life-Writing
In Specters , her multi-genre novel-length work of life-writing, Radwa Ashour engages with the Russian Formalist Viktor Shklovsky’s theory of “enstrangement” or “defamiliarization” to explore how history shapes lives and lives shape history. The double-voiced narration and mise-en-abyme structure of the novel, a mirror-within-a-mirror plot layered with metafictional passages on writing, coheres through the motifs of ghosts, threads, and silences.…

Persia, Tartaria, and Pamphilia: Ideas of Asia in Mary Wroth’s The Countess of Montgomery’s Urania, Part II
This paper seeks to explicate the imaginary geographies of Mary Wroth’s The Countess of Montgomery’s Urania (1621) by tracing conflicting early modern genealogies of the Tartar—conventionally represented as issuing from Central Asia during the Middle Ages and threatening Western Europe up to the early modern period—in relation to English engagement with the Ottoman and Safavid empires around the turn of the seventeenth century. 1 Wroth’s Urania i…

From Invasion to Inquisition: Mapping Malta in Early Modern England
In thus theorizing "The Strange Effects of Ordinary Space," Patricia Yaeger points toward a fundamental aporia in literary and cultural studies of early modern Malta: the always-already effaced indigenes of the island.1 As in Shakespeare's The Tempest, numerous colonial and countercolonial contests striate this profoundly overdetermined locale, positioned roughly between the coast of Sicily and the coast of modern Libya (the site of early modern …

The Ghost of Leo Africanus from the English to the Irish Renaissance
At the close of a millennium marked by the homogenizing forces of global capitalism and the particularizing tendencies of essentialist dogma and sectarian violence, the francophone Lebanese journalist, novelist, and expatriate Amin Maalouf claims a heterogeneous polyglot subjectivity as an antidote to lethally reductive identity politics. Maalouf’s concern in his memoir with the complex imbrication of identity and politics is anticipated by his f…

Women and Race in Early Modern Texts
Joyce Green MacDonald discusses the links between women's racial, sexual, and civic identities in early modern texts.

The coverage also includes texts from the late fourteenth to the early eighteenth centuries by, among others, S…
