Histories of the Turks were a central means through which English
authors engaged in intellectual and cultural terms with the Ottoman
Empire, its advance into Europe following the capture of
Constantinople (1454), and its continuing central European power up
to the treaty of Karlowitz (1699). Writing the Ottomans examines
historical writing on the Turks in England from 1480-1700. It
explores the evolution of this discourse from its continental
roots, and its development in response to moments of military
crisis such as the Long War of 1593-1606 and the War of the Holy
League 1683-1699, as well as Anglo-Ottoman trade and diplomacy
throughout the seventeenth century. From the writing of central
authors such as Richard Knolles and Paul Rycaut, to lesser known
names, it reads English histories of the Turks in their
intellectual, religious, political, economic and print contexts,
and analyses their influence on English perceptions of the Ottoman
world.
