Nasser Abufarha’s description of land tenure and collective ownership in Palestine in the nineteenth century and the present day offers a stark example of the relevance of Palestine and Palestinians to both historical and contemporary accounts of Romanticism. According to Abufarha, historically “[Palestinian] land in the villages was owned collectively by the village residents . . . Boundaries in the plains were marked by al-qaq, a plant that bursts out of the ground with the first grass right after the first rain in the fall, when the land is ready to be plowed, and remains for most of the year as long as there is moisture in the soil.” Al-qaq, known in English as persimmon, marks agricultural rhythms much as does the daisy in John Clare’s Eternity of Nature (ca. 1812–31):

Abstract:The Romanticization of Arabia and of the noble Arab in the British imagination has long been apparent, exemplified by figures such as Richard Burton and T. E. Lawrence. However, the Romantic origins of British discourses on Arabia have never been fully explored. Tracing the evolution of the Romantic symbols of the ‘Arab’ and ‘Arabia’ in Wordsworth, Byron, and Shelley and their entanglement in racial discourses of the later nineteenth century, this paper describes the mechanics of the discursive construction of the region, arguing that the morphology of the British colonization of the Arabian Peninsula is grounded in Romantic symbolism.

Abstract:This essay examines the cultural and political framing of Palestine in the work of the liberal English writer, journalist, and politician, James Silk Buckingham. In his Travels in Palestine (1821), Buckingham posits Palestine as an imaginative space where a liberal Briton develops critiques of Biblical literalism and religious pietism, encouraged by an emerging landscape in nineteenth-century Britain that accommodated vigorous radical and dissenting voices. At the turn of the nineteenth century, as this essay shows, debates in Britain about political radicalism and religious orthodoxy shaped the perception of Palestine and its population in the popular genre of travel writing.

Abstract:This essay re-examines George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda by way of Edward’s Said’s readings, and argues that in this novel Eliot helps usher into being a Zionism infused with the ideas and feelings of an earlier generation of British Romantics. With allusions to Romantics like Walter Scott and William Wordsworth, Eliot’s literary rendering of Zionism includes Romanticism’s elements of fellow-feeling and providential futurity. The novel’s reception by European Zionists facilitated the mixing of Romantic ideology into Zionism; understanding these future-oriented and sympathetic elements helps us better understand Zionism more generally.

Abstract:This article argues that nostalgia, as a spatially-oriented concept which developed around the late eighteenth century, was integral to the development of Romanticism in the period. From this emergent paradigm of nostalgia, Palestine––both as a literal and figural place––acquired a renewed interest and prominence in aesthetic and national cultures of the Romantic period. The article then traces how a multiplicity of native Palestinian Romanticisms developed partly in response to American and European encroachments on Palestine that were themselves partly motivated by Romanticism.

Amanda Batarseh
Abstract:Early-twentieth-century Palestinian ethnographer, Tawfiq Canaan, reflects in his posthumously published autobiography that a “love of the countryside and the fellah [peasantry]” was instilled in him from a young age. As an adult, Canaan negotiated the parameters of Orientalist Romantic discourse immanent to the ethnographic field in which he produced his work through this “love” of the “fellah.” Interrogating Canaan’s Romanticism exposes how he countered Palestinian erasure by mobilizing the discourse familiar to his target Western audience, and through this translation process, how a genre of Palestinian Romanticism emerged.

Almahdi Alrawadieh, N. Matar
Abstract:This paper examines the use of the terms Filasṭīn and Filasṭīniyyīn in Arabic sources, between 1517 and 1798. Contrary to the general view, Arab writers, both Muslim and Christian, always used the terms in their travelogues, religious texts, and government records. This paper situates the discussion of the use of those two terms in the Arabic tradition of geographical writings with its emphasis on deriving nomenclature from the urban context/Ḥaḍarī, the family lineage, and synecdoche.

Abstract:European Romanticism often represents Palestine in ageographical terms. Through an analysis of Volney’s writings on the East, this article traces Palestinian ageography to religiously-inflected discourses that identify Palestine as Europe’s future. Volney juxtaposes antiquarianism, realist travelogue, and science fictional literary modes to represent Palestine’s multiple spiritual pasts, its contemporaneity with Europe, and its prophetic anticipation of revolution. His account of Palestine shapes Romanticism and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as arguably the first science fiction novel, demonstrating the importance of religious discourses for Romantic European engagements with Palestine.
