Hello everyone, the topic of my thesis is pre-Islamic poetry between Orientalism and the narration, and I would like to compare the Orientalists’ methods of research in parallel with the method of the narrative among the Arabs.
Since you intend to focus on pre-Islamic poetry, comparing the Orientalists’ methods of research, I would suggest Orientalism, Said's "foundational document in the field of postcolonialism , providing a framework and method of analysis to answer the how? and the why? of the cultural representations of Orientals"!
By the way ,studying Orientalism is not a novel item in literary followup .we can easily remember Byron and his overflowing love of oriental themes.This is highly reflected in his major poems.
