Joan Delplato - Multiple Wives, Multiple Pleasures : Representing the Harem, 1800-1875

Title: Multiple Wives, Multiple Pleasures : Representing the Harem, 1800-1875
Description: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2004 Hardcover, 283 pages, ENG, 290 x 225 x 25 mm, NEW !, dustjacket, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780838638804. ¶ This is a critical study of French and Britis art and written texts (poetry, literature, travel accounts, art criticism)- orientalist works about the harem produced in the period from 1800-1875. Original readings are provided for over 150 harem pictures, from well-known salon paintings to rarely published erotic popular prints and book illustrations. 'Multiple Wives, Multiple Pleasures' examines these works closely, often establishing fresh contexts for many of the more well-known nineteenth century harem pictures, and often providing a consideration of lesser-known harem pictures that have been rarely published until now.
