Covering the full history of the Ottoman Empire, from its genesis
in post-Mongol Eurasia to its dissolution after the Great War in
Europe, this textbook takes a holistic approach, considering the
Ottoman worldview - what it was, how it came together, and how it
fell apart. Douglas A. Howard stresses the crucial role of the
Ottoman sultans and their extended household, discusses the
evolution of the empire's fiscal model, and analyzes favorite works
of Ottoman literature, emphasizing spirituality, the awareness of
space and time, and emotions, migration, violence, disease, and
disaster. Following how people spent their time, their attitudes
towards authority, how they made their money, and their sense of
humor and sense of beauty, this illustrated textbook is an
essential resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate, courses
on the history of the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East, Islamic
history, and the history of Eastern Europe. The book includes over
eighty illustrations, maps and textboxes.
