Yet during medieval and Renaissance times, European writers portrayed Muslim women in exactly the opposite way, as forceful queens of wanton and intimidating sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this illuminating study, Mohja Kahf traces the process through which the \"termagant\" became an \"odalisque\" in Western representations of Muslim women. Drawing examples from medieval chanson de geste and romance, Renaissance drama, Enlightenment prose, and Romantic poetry, she links the changing images of Muslim women to changes in European relations with the Islamic world, as well as to changing gender dynamics within Western societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Mohja Kahf is a professor in the English department and the Middle Eastern Studies Program at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 219\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 8.92 x 5.99 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45422460665958,"sku":"9780292743373","price":53.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/SW5jVk5qRmcvT1Bhay95Z0RGem00dz09.webp?v=1775533632","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/western-representations-of-the-muslim-woman-from-termagant-to-odalisque-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
