This book provides the first comprehensive cultural historical account of how British travellers understood the non-Muslim minority peoples they encountered in the Ottoman empire, and of how they perceived and described them in the mediating shadow of the Turks. In doing so it seeks to change our perceptions of the British encounter with the Ottomans by exploring the entangled identities of the Ottoman subjects in the English imagination, de-centering the image of the 'Terrible Turk' and Islam.Early Modern Cultural Studies 1500-1700,2634-5900European literatureRenaissance, 1450-1600Literature, Modern17th centuryLiteratureHistory and criticismCivilizationHistoryMiddle EastHistoryEarly Modern and Renaissance LiteratureSeventeenth-Century LiteratureLiterary HistoryCultural HistoryHistory of the Middle EastEuropean literatureLiterature, ModernLiteratureHistory and criticism.CivilizationHistory.Middle EastHistory.Early Modern and Renaissance Literature.Seventeenth-Century Literature.Literary History.Cultural History.History of the Middle East.915.042303.482410561Holmberg Eva Johanna1228050MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910568284903321British Encounters with Ottoman Minorities in the Early Seventeenth Century2851069UNINA
