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. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history ;$vv. 209. 606 $aNational characteristics, English$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aTurkeys$xForeign public opinion, British 606 $aPublic opinion$zGreat Britain 606 $aImperialism$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aEngland$xCivilization$y18th century 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918$xPublic opinion 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aNational characteristics, English$xHistory 615 0$aTurkeys$xForeign public opinion, British. 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory 676 $a303.48/24105609033 700 $aKugler$b Emily M.
