商品簡介
Dimmock (English, U. of Sussex) examines Early Modern England's obsession with the "infidels," who in 1529 besieged Vienna, and how this obsession related to the then-new print culture. Rather than stabilizing the attitudes of European Christians about Islam, it appears that the recurring contacts between the two generated new and shifting attitudes which were expressed in print and on stage. As a result, there appears to be no one clear definition of the "turke" in either the English Protestant or the continental Catholic mind, resulting in such variants as the perception by Catholics that the "turke" could be either the Ottomans or the English Protestants.
