The Ottoman empire as a political entity comprised most of the
present Middle East (with the principal exception of Iran), north
Africa and south-eastern Europe. For over 500 years, until its
disintegration during World War I, it encompassed a diverse range
of ethnic, religious and linguistic communities with varying
political and cultural backgrounds. Yet, was there such a thing as
an 'Ottoman world' beyond the principle of sultanic rule from
Istanbul? Ottoman authority might have been established largely by
military conquest, but how was it maintained for so long, over such
distances and so many disparate societies? How did provincial
regions relate to the imperial centre and what role was played in
this by local elites? What did it mean in practice, for ordinary
people, to be part of an 'Ottoman world'? Arranged in five thematic
sections, with contributions from thirty specialist historians, The
Ottoman World addresses these questions, examining aspects of the
social and socio-ideological composition of this major pre-modern
empire, and offers a combination of broad synthesis and detailed
investigation that is both informative and intended to raise points
for future debate. The Ottoman World provides a unique coverage of
the Ottoman empire, widening its scope beyond Istanbul to the edges
of the empire, and offers key coverage for students and scholars
alike.
