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. 410 0$aEarly Modern Cultural Studies 1500-1700,$x2634-5900 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y17th century 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aSeventeenth-Century Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aCultural History 606 $aHistory of the Middle East 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aMiddle East$xHistory. 615 14$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aSeventeenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHistory of the Middle East. 676 $a915.042 676 $a303.482410561 700 $aHolmberg$b Eva Johanna$01228050 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910568284903321 996 $aBritish Encounters with Ottoman Minorities in the Early Seventeenth Century$92851069 997 $aUNINA
