Islam and the English Enlightenment
Explores the complex and often surprising relationship between Islam and the English Enlightenment from 1670 to 1840. It challenges the common "clash of civilizations" narrative, arguing that Islamic ideas significantly influenced English political and religious thought, particularly regarding republicanism, toleration, and views on liberty. The author examines how figures like Henry Stubbe, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Edmund Burke, and Romantic poets such as Coleridge and the Shelleys engaged with Islam, often reimagining it as a model for civic virtue and challenging existing power structures. The text also addresses the intertwining of gender, nation, and empire in these historical interactions, ultimately proposing a reconciliationist prophetic tradition rather than one of inherent conflict between East and West.
