Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Wooing of Malkatoon is a compact romance in verse, shaped around courtship, honor, beauty, and the imaginative allure of the East. Wallace writes in an elevated, pictorial style, favoring ceremonial language, rich color, and the… cadence of nineteenth-century narrative poetry. The work belongs to the same cultural moment that produced American and British 'Oriental' romances: literary fantasies indebted to Byron, Scott, Tennyson, and The Arabian Nights, yet marked by Wallace's own moral earnestness and taste for pageantry. Lew Wallace was not merely a novelist but a soldier, lawyer, politician, and diplomat, best remembered for Ben-Hur. His service as U.S. minister to the Ottoman Empire deepened his fascination with Near Eastern settings, manners, and historical imagination. That cosmopolitan experience, joined to his lifelong interest in heroic conduct and spiritual aspiration, helps explain the poem's fusion of exotic scenery with chivalric and ethical themes. Readers interested in Victorian-era romance, American Orientalism, or the lesser-known works of a major popular writer will find The Wooing of Malkatoon rewarding. It is best approached as a lyrical artifact: ornate, idealizing, and revealing of Wallace's imagination beyond Ben-Hur. 128 pp. Englisch.
