Review

This book has the virtue of presenting a compelling counter-narrative to Edward Said's monolithic interpretation of the East, contributing to ongoing scholarly research about the figurative centrality of Islam in the English literature and culture of the early modern period. (...) A well-written book that combines historically-informed close readings of key texts with original research. (...) Undoubtedly, (the author's) pioneering scholarship will be of lasting importance for those who are interested in understanding the reception of Islam in mid and late seventeenth-century drama and culture, a timely topic that has been up to now poorly conceived and too often neglected. SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NEWSA very useful study of English drama and its allusions to the Ottoman and Safavid Empires. JOURNAL OF ISLAMIC STUDIES A valuable contribution to the ongoing reassessment of the political and cultural relations between early modern Western Europe and the Islamic Orient. RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY Convincingly demonstrates how writers of this period engaged the "Turk" in ways that were distinct and dynamic. JOURNAL OF BRITISH HISTORY
