Description

Explore the profound impact of one of history's most influential women with this scholarly study from Routledge. Roxolana in European Literature, History and Culture examines the life and legacy of Hurrem Sultan, a sixteenth-century Ukrainian woman who rose from a harem slave to become the legal wife and advisor to Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. This collection serves as the first book-length study focused on how Roxolana shaped the European imagination. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the essays analyze her role as a transnational figure who influenced Ottoman affairs and sparked legends across many European nations. This book provides a deep look at her unprecedented career and her lasting presence in historical and literary contexts.
