About this book
Reviews
— Jyotsna G. Singh, Professor, Department of English, Michigan State University, USA, and Editor of A Companion to the Global Renaissance: Literature and Culture in the Era of Expansion, 1500–1700 (Second Edition, 2021)
“This is deeply impressive and necessary work of scholarship which offers a wideranging account of the religious and ethnic diversity within the Ottoman empire, as recorded in early modern British accounts. What emerges in the process is not just an image of the variety of “non-Turks” under Ottoman rule, but also sharply perceptive explorations of English and British articulations of nationhood, national character, and structures of difference.”
— Nandini Das, Professor of Early Modern English Literature and Culture and Tutorial Fellow in English at Exeter College, University of Oxford, UK
