Sommario/riassunto

The Turkish Novel and the Quest for Rationality is the first book to contextualize the Turkish novel with regard to the intellectual developments motivating the Turkish modernization project since the 18th century. The book provides a dialectical narrative for the emergence and development of the Turkish novel in order to highlight the genre’s critical role within the modernization project. In doing so, it also delineates the changing forms the novel assumes in the Turkish context from a platform for new literature to a manifestation of crisis in the face of totalizing rationality. Vis-a-vis modernization's engagement with rationality, The Turkish Novel and the Quest for Rationality reveals unexplored ways of conceptualizing the development of the genre in



non-western contexts.

Sommario/riassunto

Explores the relationship between erotic writing, masculinity, and national identity in Renaissance England. This book draws on both manuscripts and printed texts, and incorporates insights from feminist



theory and queer studies. It argues that pornography is a historical phenomenon and that it does not exist in all cultures.
