Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the edges of
Europe were under pressure from the Ottoman Turks. This book
explores how Shakespeare and his contemporaries represented places
where Christians came up against Turks, including Malta, Tunis,
Hungary, and Armenia. Some forms of Christianity itself might seem
alien, so the book also considers the interface between traditional
Catholicism, new forms of Protestantism, and Greek and Russian
orthodoxy. But it also finds that the concept of Christendom was
under threat in other places, some much nearer to home. Edges of
Christendom could be found in areas that were or had been pagan,
such as Rome itself and the Danelaw, which once covered northern
England; they could even be found in English homes and gardens,
where imported foreign flowers and exotic new ingredients
challenged the concept of what was native and natural.
