- Title
Accident, Orientalism, and Edward FitzGerald as Translator.
- Authors
Drury, Annmarie
- Abstract
An essay is presented which explores several of poet Edward FitzGerald's translations of Persian poetry as Orientalist texts. It uses the term Orientalism in the sense promoted by literary theorist Edward Said, in which Orientalist views are characterized by the hostile and deprecatory portrayal of Eastern cultures by Western Imperialist thinkers. The role of chance in FitzGerald's translating is also discussed.
