The heart of the argument that The Sheik is somewhat aligned with the modernist primitive urge is summed up by Lee Horsley who aligns Hull and D.H. Lawrence in their shared impulse towards "the original human farmyard" in which sexual natures are allowed free expression unfettered by the constraints of society" ().

The Sheik is a novel by E. M. Hull, an English novelist of the early twentieth century. It was the first of a series of novels she wrote with desert settings that set off a major revival of the "desert romance" genre of romantic fiction. Playing the dual role of the Sheik and his son, it has been said to be his best work. The book has a more complex plot than the film, with the romance for which Edith Maude Hull is famous, but adding in a second son, and a bit of skullduggery related to the outbreak of World War I. Since its publication in , The Sheik has been reworked, retold, and referenced in numerous books, as well as on film with Rudolph Valentino. There’s a Goodreads list of Sheikh romances with entries at this time, which is a strong indication of its lasting effect on the romance genre.
