"In 'Narratives of Kingship in Eurasian Empires, 1300-1800' Richard van Leeuwen analyses
representations and constructions of the idea of kingship in fictional texts of various
genres, especially belonging to the intermediate layer between popular and official
literature. The analysis shows how ideologies of power are embedded in the literary
and cultural imagination of societies, their cultural values and conceptualizations
of authority. By referring to examples from various empires (Chinese, Indian, Persian,
Arabic, Turkish, European) the parallels between literary traditions are laid bare,
revealing remarkable common concerns. The process of interaction and transmission
are highlighted to illustrate how literature served as a repository for ideological
and cultural values transforming power into authority in various imperial environments."--Cover
