Desiring the east: a comparative study of Middle English romance and modern popular sheikh romance
Full text linkThis thesis comparatively examines a selection of twenty-first century sheikh romances and Middle English romances from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that imagine an erotic relationship occurring between east and west. They do so against a background of conflict, articulated in military confrontation and binary religious and ethnic division. The thesis explores the strategies used to facilitate the cross-cultural relationship across such a gulf of difference and considers what a comparison of medieval and modern romance can reveal about attitudes towards otherness in popular romance.
In Chapter 1, I analyse the construction of the east in each genre, investigating how the homogenisation of the romance east in sheikh romance distances it from the geopolitical reality of those parts of the Middle East seen, by the west, to be "other". Chapter 2 examines the articulation of gender identity and the ways in which these romances subvert and reassert binary gender difference to uphold normative heterosexual relations. Chapter 3 considers how ethnic and religious difference is nuanced, in particular through the use of fabric, breaking down the disjunction between east and west. Chapter 4 investigates the way ethnicity, religion and gender affect hierarchies of power in the abduction motif, enabling undesirable aspects of the east to be recast.
The key finding of this thesis is that both romance genres facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship by rewriting apparently binary differences of religion and ethnicity to create sameness. While the east is figured differently in Middle English and modern sheikh romance, the strategies they use to facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship are similar. The thesis concludes that the constancy of certain attitudes towards the east in both medieval and modern romance reveals a persistence of conservative values in representations of the east in romance

وتحكي رواية "الشيخ الأبيض" حياة بطلها "يوحنا هيرمان بول" (Johannes Herman Poll)، هذه الشخصية التي أصبحت فيما بعد تُسمّى باسم عربي هو اسم "عبد الله بن محمد"، والتي عصفت بها رياح الغرب وأطماعه التي لا تنتهي، فجاءت بها -عن طريق المصادفة- إلى شواطئ سلطنة عمان، وبالضبط إلى المنطقة المسماة "ظفار"، وهي منطقة تقع جنوب سلطنة عمان، والتي عاشت تاريخا من الاضطرابات قديما وحديثا.

The latter was swept by the winds of the West and by his endless ambitions, which accidentally brought him to the shores of the Sultanate of Oman, precisely the area called "Dhofar", a region in the south of the Sultanate of Oman which has experienced a long history of turmoil in ancient and modern times.
