This book examines the letters, diaries, and published accounts of
English and Scottish travelers to Greece in the seventeenth
century, a time of growing interest in ancient texts and the
Ottoman Empire. Through these early encounters, this book analyzes
the travelers' construction of Greece in the early modern
Mediterranean world and shows how travel became a means of
collecting and disseminating knowledge about ancient sites.
Focusing on the mobility and exchange of people, artifacts, texts,
and opinions between the two countries, it argues that the presence
of Britons in Greece and of Greeks in England aroused interest not
only in Hellenic antiquity, but also in Greece's contemporary
geopolitical role. Exploring myth, perception, and trope with
clarity and precision, this book offers new insight into the
connections between Greece, the Ottoman Empire, and the West.
