"The Sultan Speaks" is the first study of English historical plays
about the Turks in relation to their sources and analogues,
including histories originating in Greek, Arabic, and Turkish.
Drawing on Bakhtin's concept of the dialogic and on narrative
theory, McJannet traces the transmission of these eastern sources
and analyzes Richard Knolles's citation of the "Turks' own
chronicles," the historiographic equivalent of letting the sultan
speak. She demonstrates that while the historians increasingly
contain the sultan's words with adverse authorial commentary,
playwrights such as Marlowe and Fulke Greville use both dialogue
and commentary to" "enhance the sultan's stature and to mitigate
his negative acts.
