The Image of Algeria in the English Travel Writings of the Second Half of the XIX CenturyThe present study aims at exploring in the light of Edward Saïd’s theory of orientalism the image of Algeria and the Algerians in a set of English travel writings of the second half of the XIXth century, Through Algeria, A Winter in Algeria, Algeria as it is and The New Playground; or, Wanderings in Algeria respectively by Mabel Sharman Crawford, Mrs. G. Albert Rogers, George Gaskell and Alexander Andrew Knox .The study examines the nature of the representation of the other as produced by these English travellers who spent a winter in the former Ottoman regency which had become a French colony since 1830. The study is divided into three main parts which deal respectively with the historical context of the XIX century, the travellers and their travel writings and the other’s representation. The study reveals a stereotyped representation due to the background of the orientalist discourse.Key words: travel writing- orientalism- representation- otherness- Other- Algeria- exoticism.
