It charts the way representation of England and the Ottomans changed as England grew into an imperial power. By focusing on texts dealing with the Ottomans, the author argues that we can observe the turning point in public perceptions, the moments when English subjects began to believe British imperial power was a reality rather than an aspiration.Brill's studies in intellectual history ;v. 209.National characteristics, EnglishHistory18th centuryTurkeysForeign public opinion, BritishPublic opinionGreat BritainImperialismHistory18th centuryEnglandCivilization18th centuryTurkeyHistoryOttoman Empire, 1288-1918Public opinionGreat BritainHistory18th centuryNational characteristics, EnglishHistoryTurkeysForeign public opinion, British.Public opinionImperialismHistory303.48/24105609033Kugler Emily M.
