PIYA PAL-LAPINSKI is Associate Professor of English at Bowling Green State University.
" [Pal-Lapinski] disputes the claims of much postcolonial criticism
and argues that 19th-century representations of the sexually
volatile odalisque did not reduce such women to passive recipients
of the imperial, patriarchal gaze."--CHOICE
"[A]bsorbing and worthwhile, with some excellent rediscover of rich
texts." --Journal of Victorian Culture
"The detailed interdisciplinary re-examination of the complexity
and elusiveness of the exotic and protean female figure in The
Exotic Woman in Nineteenth-Century British Fiction and Culture: A
Reconsideration makes a compelling contribution to post-colonial
and nineteenth-century studies." --European Romantic Review
"The Exotic Woman is a serious addition to nineteenth-century
scholarship, particularly of Victorian imperialist anxieties.
Pal-Lapinski's dense and knowledgeable study will serve anyone
interested in nineteenth century culture, politics, and
science."--Victorian Studies
