초록
This paper investigates some of the most representative travel narratives written, translated, and/or published in London over the late sixteenth and the early seventeenth centuries, with an exclusive focus on firsthand English/European experiences with the Ottoman Empire. In particular, this paper first traces the contemporary English anxieties about the invincible military Other in the narratives, and it also examines the ways in which the narrators attempt to reimagine European/English supremacy by building the moral and religious superiority of Christianity to Islam. Then the paper goes on to read captivity and conversion episodes more closely in order to pinpoint early Modern English memories about thwarted enterprises, frustrated hopes, and bitterly resented defeats. One of the eventual goals of this research is to establish a well-grounded critical perspective from which to reassess early modern travel drama, which frequently idealizes a European/English traveler in the Mediterranean region as an ultimate conqueror of the Turkish and Islam Others. This study in so doing also hopes to challenge the Euro-centric teleological understanding of early modern English contacts and exchanges with non-European cultures.
Abstract
This paper investigates some of the most representative travel narratives written, translated, and/or published in London over the late sixteenth and the early seventeenth centuries, with an exclusive focus on firsthand English/European experiences with the Ottoman Empire. In particular, this paper first traces the contemporary English anxieties about the invincible military Other in the narratives, and it also examines the ways in which the narrators attempt to reimagine European/English supremacy by building the moral and religious superiority of Christianity to Islam. Then the paper goes on to read captivity and conversion episodes more closely in order to pinpoint early Modern English memories about thwarted enterprises, frustrated hopes, and bitterly resented defeats. One of the eventual goals of this research is to establish a well-grounded critical perspective from which to reassess early modern travel drama, which frequently idealizes a European/English traveler in the Mediterranean region as an ultimate conqueror of the Turkish and Islam Others. This study in so doing also hopes to challenge the Euro-centric teleological understanding of early modern English contacts and exchanges with non-European cultures.
