Size: Paperback

This book is about the principal writings that shaped the perception of Turkey for informed readers in English, from Edward Gibbon’s positing of imperial
Decline and Fall
to the proclamation of the Turkish Republic (1923), illustrating how Turkey has always been a part of the modern British and European experience. It is a great sweep of a story: from Gibbon as standard textbook, through Lord Bryon the pro-Turkish poet, and Benjamin Disraeli the Romantic novelist of all things Eastern, followed by John Buchan's
Greenmantle
First World War espionage fantasies, and then
Manchester Guardian
reporter Arnold Toynbee narrating the fight for Turkish independence.
