Pressezitat
"A native of Lebanon with a Ph.D. in English literature, Naji B. Oueijan is admirably equipped to bring a special perspective to the oft-told story of British literary interest in the East. His study places several British writers, especially Byron, in the context of the Eastern tradition in English Literature and provides a thorough and authentic matrix for the understanding of the Eastern elements in their works." (Clement T. Goode, Professor of English, Baylor University)"Dr. Naji B. Oueijan's 'The Progress of an Image: The East in English Literature' is a comprehensive survey of the Orient-Occident long-established contacts and the cross-cultural impact resulting thereof. The study of this grave issue, which is still hot up to this moment, is rendered plausible by virtue of the objective manner on which the methodology of the book is smoothly based. The book furnishes the general reader with a correct perspective from which to view European thought and culture, more particularly the English, as the focus of vision moves from home-based subjectivity to the real open world." (Ibrahim Al-Hussari, Professor of English, Lebanese American University)
"Oueijan's work represents a valuable contribution towards a better understanding of literary Orientalism. It will be read with great profit by specialists and others alike." (A.R. Kidwai, The Byron Journal)
