Description

Explore a fresh perspective on early modern history with this study from Routledge. Unlike traditional narratives that place the Czech lands on the periphery, this work positions Czechs as central characters in the early modern world. By looking both east and west, the book examines how Czech identity was formed through engagement with a broader global context. Laura Lisy-Wagner analyzes descriptive and ethnographic texts written by Czech speakers regarding Islam and the Ottoman Empire. The study demonstrates how these authors used discourse to shape their own sense of self. Rather than a simple story of opposition to an Islamic Other, this research reveals how these writers navigated complex cultural landscapes to define their place in history between 1453 and 1683. This book is an essential resource for those studying transculturalism, religious history, and the development of European identities.
