Writing the Ottomans examines historical writing on the Turks in England from 1480-1700, tracing the evolution of this discourse and exploring its central authors, works, and contexts.

Recenzje

"Ingram has written a disciplined intellectual history of English history writing about Turks ... . Ingram's careful tracing of Knolles's sources will be much appreciated by scholars, who might have been more careless in their reading. With his book he invites other scholars to tap more fully into this material to explore what kinds of imagery and aims they contained." (Eva Johanna Holmberg, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 70 (1), 2017)
