Very attractive review in Saturday's Globe & Mail (which I'm just getting round to reading today) of a new book by Barbara Hodgson (whose latest novel, The Lives of Shadows, I've been meaning to get hold of for some time).
Called Dreaming of East: Western Women and the Exotic Allure of the Orient, it's just the sort of thing I probably would have plundered while working on my DPhil: full of wonderful illustrations and gripping anecdotes, likely too hagiographic to be of much critical use, but sufficiently 'on topic' to justify reading.
