"In the period between 1579 and 1624 over sixty dramatic works featuring Islamic themes, characters, or settings were produced in England. Muslim figures were prominent in every genre of dramatic performance, from comedy, romance, and tragedy to civic pageantry and closet drama. More than just a survey of these plays, Traffic and Turning argues that the literature of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England cannot be read without reference to the epistemological effect on Europe of its encounters with the Islamic world. Bringing together disparate materials to outline the discourse on Muslims, the book offers an extended discussion of the theater and its place in this discourse, while presenting important methodological and theoretical theses with regard to the analysis of cross-cultural encounters in early modern England. It will be of interest to all those interested in questions of early modern contact history, English relations with Islam and the East, English theater history, and cultural politics."--BOOK JACKET
