Class Description:
BRITAIN AND THE ISLAMIC MEDITERRANEAN: 1588-1714

The course examines the intellectual and historical contacts between early modern Britain and the Islamic Mediterranean. It is interdisciplinary in its coverage and includes plays, captivity writings, chronicles, and diplomatic treaties, along with ballads, government reports, and archival documents (from the TNA, now online). We shall trace the transformation of English perceptions of Muslims and the extent of trade/piracy with North Africa and the Ottoman Empire from the period of Elizabethan cooperation to the beginning of British imperial control of the Mediterranean in the Georgian period.

The course explores a new area of research and scholarship in English studies, one that has been gaining momentum in the last decade.
