Muslim Women in Britain, 1850-1950
India under Ripon. A private diary
Britain and Islam
Martin Pugh is well known for his books about nineteenth- and twentieth-century British social and political history. In this volume, he turns his attention to Britain’s relationship with Islam and Muslims. Pugh ambitiously fixes as his historical starting point 622 of the Common Era, the first year of the Islamic calendar, when the persecuted Prophet Muhammad and his followers left Mecca for sanctuary in Medina. Pugh notes in the preface that, i…
Professor G. W. Leitner in England
This article examines in detail for the first time the later life and work of the Orientalist G. W. Leitner (1840–1899), who retired from Indian government service and settled permanently in England in the 1880s. It explains why Leitner devoted the last years of his life to creating an ambitious Oriental Institute in Woking, Surrey, which included the first purpose-built mosque in Britain. It also considers why and how Leitner went against conven…
Islam and Britain
Ron Geaves is well-known for his work about contemporary Islam and Sufism, but in this new book, he continues the historical research that began with his 2010 biography of the British Victorian Mus
Victorian Muslim
After formally announcing his conversion to Islam in the late 1880s, the Liverpool lawyer William Henry Abdullah Quilliam publicly propagated his new faith and established the first community of Muslim converts in Victorian Britain. Despite decades of obscurity following his death, with the resurgence of interest in Muslim heritage in the West since 9/11, Quilliam has achieved iconic status in Britain and beyond as a pivotal figure in the history…
Preachers, Patriots and Islamists
Rediscovered by Islamic converts in the late 1960s and post-war migrants in Liverpool in the 1970s after he had been largely forgotten, British Muslim interest in Abdullah Quilliam has grown significantly, especially in the last decade. Although not without his contemporary critics, there is a strong hagiographic tendency that puts Quilliam forward as a founder figure in British Islam. Contemporary appropriations of Quilliam center on questions o…
The British Empire and the Hajj, 1865–1956
By the early twentieth century, the British governed more than half the world’s Muslims — some eighty million in the Indian subcontinent alone.1 John Slight shows in this book, adapted from his PhD
The British Muslim Baron
This contribution to the Common Knowledge symposium on xenophilia documents and discusses the life and work of an important but neglected early British convert to Islam, the fifth Baron Headley, Rowland George Allanson Allanson-Winn (1855 - 1935), and also comments on the nature of the kind of xenophilia that can lead to conversion. The essay argues that Lord Headley's attraction to the Muslim world and his religious conversion in 1913 were typic…
Introduction
In his introduction to part 2 of the Common Knowledge symposium on xenophilia, the journal's editor tours the reader through two private apartments (T. S. Eliot's in London and the anthropologist Jeannette Mirsky's in Princeton) and through two public art collections (the Michael Rockefeller Wing of the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Ménil Collection in Houston) in an effort to establish that aesthetically coherent mixtures of apparently…
The Holy Cities of Arabia
This is a welcome republication of another “neglected classic of Arabian travel” (p. ix) from Arabian Publishing in London. Eldon Rutter's account of a year in the Hijaz between 1925 and 1926 is th
Upholding the Banner of Islam’
Much has been written in recent years about the life of William Henry Abdullah Quilliam, late-Victorian propagator of Islam in Britain and founder of the Liverpool Muslim Institute (LMI). However, little attention has been given to Quilliam's fellow British Muslim converts, who constituted Britain's first indigenous Muslim community. This article briefly looks at the LMI as a missionary organisation. It then quantifies and examines the socio-demo…
Britain's First Muslim Peer of the Realm
Much has been written about Britons who converted to Islam abroad between the sixteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These studies have suggested that, with the rise of British imperialism, conversions petered out. However, this article shows that the consolidation of the British Empire in India in the late 1850s coincided with the conversion to Islam of Henry Stanley, eldest son of an English Peer of the Realm. Stanley returned to Britain a M…
