Three Turk Plays from Early Modern England Selimus, a Christian Turned Turk, and the Renegado
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Columbia Univ Pr
- Publish date: 12/01/1999
Here, three important early modern "Turk" plays -- Robert Greene's Selimus, Emperor of the Turks (1594); Robert Daborne's A Christian Turned Turk (1612); and Philip Massinger's The Renegado (1623) -- are available for the first time. These texts represent Islamic power and wealth in scenes of piracy on the high seas, on-stage execution by strangulation, and rites of religious conversion. The plays are set in historical and cultural context by Daniel J. Vitkus's clear and thoughtful introduction. These carefully edited, annotated, modern-spelling editions are particularly valuable for understanding the cultural production of English identity in relation to the Islamic Other.
