reviewed The Rise of Oriental Travel: English Visitors to the Ottoman Empire, 1580-1720 on September 22, 2009
The Rise of Oriental Travel
There was a clear ideological bias behind this book. At the same time despite that (or despite the fact I disagreed with it) it was enjoyable to read, engaging and ultimately I learned from it about the Ottoman Empire and was encouraged to discover the primary sources it references.
