Résumé : |
The Western perceptions of the Orient have always been a matter of heated
debate and infinite controversy. These perceptions often found expression in
literature through nearly all its genres. Despite being different in form, these genres
were alike overdosed with themes portraying the Orient and its inhabitants as
inferior, weak and uncivilized. In the nineteenth century, travel literature was the
most prominent representative of European conceptions of the Orient, especially
the MENA1 region as it was Europe’s favorite place for imperial and colonial
experiences. This extended essay examines the image of Algeria in Lady Herbert’s
travelogue A Search after sunshine or Algeria in 1871, shedding light on the
background of the author and how it has affected her composition. The dissertation
will start by showcasing the conceptual framework that supposedly shape this
account, such as Orientalism and its different characteristics and manifestations.
Successively, the analytical part will have the objective ofshowing how Orientalism
manifested itself in the account, taking the fact that Algeria was France’s colony
into high consideration. |
