This book is about the principal writings that shaped the
perception of Turkey for informed readers in English, from Edward
Gibbon's positing of imperial Decline and Fall to the proclamation
of the Turkish Republic (1923), illustrating how Turkey has always
been a part of the modern British and European experience. It is a
great sweep of a story: from Gibbon as standard textbook, through
Lord Bryon the pro-Turkish poet, and Benjamin Disraeli the Romantic
novelist of all things Eastern, followed by John Buchan's
Greenmantle First World War espionage fantasies, and then
Manchester Guardian reporter Arnold Toynbee narrating the fight for
Turkish independence.
