Images of the Prophet Muhammad in English Literature seeks to promote a better understanding between the Muslim world and the West against the backdrop of the Danish cartoons and the deplorable tragedy of 9/11, which has evoked a general interest in things Islamic. This book recounts and analyzes the image of Prophet Muhammad, as reflected in English literary texts from the twelfth to nineteenth centuries. It will be of much interest to students of English literary history, cultural studies, Islamic studies, and literary Orientalism.
«[...] Abdur Raheem Kidwai has tackled the subject afresh knowledgeably and deftly. Succinct and reader-friendly in style, the text maps the traditionally calumnious course of Muhammad-baiting, with rare respites, in the West across the ages successively, characterized by a long-lasting fanaticism even during the Renaissance, Enlightenment, Reason and Humanism.»
