Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 6x0x9; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Light wear. Clean, unmarked pages. viii, 243 pages: illustrations; 24 cm. "New Turkes: Dramatizing Islam and the Ottomans in Early Modern England explores the ways in which print culture helped define and promulgate a European construction of Turkishness' that was nebulous and ever shifting. By placing in context the developing encounters between the Ottoman and Christian worlds, it shows how ongoing engagements reflected the nature of the 'Turke' in sixteenth century English literature. By offering reading of texts by artists, poets and playwrights-especially canonical figures like Kyd, Marlowe and Shakespeare-a bewildering variety of approaches to Islam and the 'turke' is revealed fundamentally questioning any dominant, defining narrative of 'otherness'."
