This book is a study of the representation of the Persian empire in
English drama across the early modern period, from the 1530s to the
1690s. The wide focus of this book, encompassing thirteen dramatic
entertainments, both canonical and little-known, allow it to trace
the changes and developments in the dramatic use of Persia and its
people across one and a half centuries. It explores what Persia
signified to English playwrights and audiences in this period; the
ideas and associations conjured up by mention of 'Persia'; and
where information about Persia came from. It also considers how
ideas about Persia changed with the development of global travel
and trade, as English people came into people with Persians for the
first time. In addressing these issues, this book provides an
examination not only of the representation of Persia in dramatic
material, but of the broader relationship between travel, politics
and the theatre in early modern England.
