The huge corpus of travel literature, penned by the
British male and female writers on Persia during the
high noon of imperialism, should not be taken simply as
an יinnocent transcriptionי of the other world; rather, it
has been asserted by postcolonial critics that the mapping
out of non-European nations through a matrix of textual
production in stereotypical attributes plays a crucial role
in perpetuating and legitimizing the imperial
domination. Lady Sheilיs portrayal proceeded with her
husbandיs Notes, authored within the constraining frame
of colonial discourse and backed up by the discursive
authority, presents יa living tableau ofqueernessי of the
Persians as the other inferior Orient in need of Messianic
British mission. To set this study in context, it initially
defines the key concepts of the field, and then it moves
on to a postcolonial scrutiny, not only to probe into the
stereotypical images, but also to unravel the exploitative
side of the imperial project lurking in the narrative.
