Abstract: Arab', 'Muslim' and 'Middle Eastern' are terms frequently used synonymously and interchangeably in global media and popular culture.Consequently, they are problematically conflated, particularly in the West.They are not only lumped together regardless of ethnic, national, linguistic and cultural affiliations, but are also often negatively stereotyped.The negative stereotypes of the Arab/Muslim were and are used not only to cater to a Western audience thirsting for the exotic, but also to serve a tacit political agenda the roots of which extend far back to the beginning of religious and political conflicts and colonial contests for territory between the West and the East.This study aims at examining how and why the stereotypes of Muslims and Arabs originated in English literature and at following their trajectory over three centuries as they permeated all forms of Western literary culture from anthropological writing to travel narratives to mainstream popular culture, finally developing into artistic trope fiction writers in the 19 th century could employ to convey social, cultural and political messages.
