Nevertheless, women are represented, although nearly absent by Chateaubriand. Object of desire in the “tales” recited in the desert by Volney (praise of the young nomadic beauty by the “martyr” lover), they appear also, by Lamartine, through Antar’s poetry and the « Journal de Fatalla Sayeghir » translated in his Voyage en Orient (1835), as active subjects, who may fight equal to men, even presented as intellectually superior, thus contributing to a new image of the “bedouin myth”. |
