| description | Edward Said's notion of 'orientalism' is explored with reference to a cross-section of Byron's narrative verse, taken chronologically. Particular focus is placed on two textual loci, namely, the concepts of 'culture' and 'identity'.

An additional theme of exile is considered, and forms the bridge between a historical analysis of the verse, and current political reality as it is depicted in J.M. Coetzee's recent novel. Disgrace |
