- This 266pp. book derives from extensive background research into original sources in order to offer comprehensive study of the 'Turk'. Product of 8 years’ research, the book challenges the consensus that the period's fascination with the Ottoman Empire was primarily a reflection of historical or cultural realities 'brought home' by travellers. Instead, it deploys contemporary cultural materialist sources to locate the figure of the 'Turk' within everyday repertory practice, company and venue relations, and theatre economics. Whilst considering various modes of cultural translation in the period, the book draws wide implications for thinking about critical approaches to its drama.
