Description

This scholarly work by Routledge examines how British Romantic and early Victorian writers used the Ottoman Empire and the figure of the Turk as a literary device to explore imperial culture and identity. Filiz Turham analyses Turkish Tales, novels, and travelogues spanning c. 1789-1846, revealing three primary ways the Ottoman Other functioned as a counterimage of empire for both liberal and conservative authors. Through close readings of Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley and Elizabeth Craven, the study demonstrates how the Ottoman Empire became a crucial site for negotiating questions of power, alterity and British imperial ideology during the Romantic period. This contribution to postcolonial scholarship offers fresh insights into how literature shaped and reflected Britain's relationship with the Ottoman world.
