The ten original essays in this book examine many aspects of \u003ci\u003eArabia Deserta\u003c\/i\u003e, including its Victorian characteristics and aesthetics; its blend of fact and fantasy; its portrayal of Arab society and of Doughty himself; and the accuracy of its geographical, geological, archaeological, historical, and ethnographical observations. Additionally, the book's introduction and two bibliographies probe \u003ci\u003eArabia Deserta\u003c\/i\u003e's reception, unique position in the genre of travel literature, and bibliographical history. During the grueling twenty-one-month journey narrated in \u003ci\u003eArabia Deserta\u003c\/i\u003e, Doughty endured periods of sickness and near-famine, a series of treacherous guides, attack by a mob, and virtual imprisonment by a corrupt Turkish commandant. Celebrating this epic of scholarship and survival, \u003ci\u003eExplorations in Doughty's \"Arabia Deserta\u003c\/i\u003e\" maps the contours of a work that T. E. Lawrence, who had followed Doughty's path to Arabia, called \"a book not like other books, but something particular, a bible of its kind.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTEPHEN E.
