My research will explore the place and presence of Islam within selected works by Katherine Mansfield, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf, focusing in each case on their time in the County of Sussex. At the chronological centre of my research are two very particular events -namely the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1923 and the founding of Saudi Arabia in 1932. These events and the huge attendant development in Western awareness of Islam at this time(Melman1992and Said 1993)had, I contend, an influence on Anglophone modernism that, though often secret or buried, is of great significance. This significance has not yet been fully investigated, and now, a hundred years on from 1922, the great year of modernism, is the time to do so. I have chosen to take, as my topographical focus, the County of Sussex because not only was it a place that each of my writers visited or lived in but it was, and is, emblematic of a vision of England(Featherstone2008), and indeed English modernism, not normally associated with Islam. My work will challenge these visions.

我的研究将探讨伊斯兰教在凯瑟琳·曼斯菲尔德、詹姆斯·乔伊斯和弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的精选作品中的地位和存在，重点关注他们在苏塞克斯郡的时光。我研究的时间中心是两个非常特殊的事件，即 1923 年奥斯曼帝国的解体和 1932 年沙特阿拉伯的成立。我认为，这些事件以及此时西方伊斯兰教意识的巨大发展（Melman 1992 和 Said 1993）对英语现代主义产生了影响，尽管这种影响常常是秘密的或被隐藏的，但具有重大意义。这一意义尚未得到充分研究，而现在，距 1922 年，即现代主义的伟大年份，一百年后，正是进行这一研究的时候了。我选择苏塞克斯郡作为我的地形关注点，因为它不仅是我的每位作家访问或居住过的地方，而且它过去和现在都是英格兰愿景的象征（Featherstone2008），实际上也是英国现代主义的象征，通常与伊斯兰教无关。我的工作将挑战这些愿景。
