This fascinating book explores issues of orientalism, otherness, gender and sexuality that arise in British representations of non-European musicians during the long nineteenth century. Mabilat uses a theoretical framework of orientalism as a form of othering to analyse primary source materials in the forms of opera libretti, popular fiction and the visual arts (such as photographs and book illustrations), alongside contextualizing non-fiction materials. In conjunction with musicological, literary and art theories, the book considers how ideas of the Other were transformed over time and between different genres and artists.
