The study of Ottoman history has resulted in the construction of a
number of Ottoman 'pasts', some of which have been proved
recoverable and essentially durable, while others have been seen to
owe too much to extraneous preconceptions. In the articles
collected here, Dr Heywood has questioned some of the perceived
certainties in the field of Ottoman history and historiography,
focusing in particular on the work of Paul Wittek and the idea of
the 'frontier'. Other studies are based on the abundant surviving
documentation, and look at specific topics in 17th-century Ottoman
history and in Anglo-Ottoman relations, for example Sir Paul
Rycaut's view of the Ottoman empire, or the organisation of the
Ottoman postal service and roads, and the cannon-foundry in
Istanbul.
