Britain and the Islamic World, 1558-1713

Increasing direct contact with Moors, Ottomans, Safavids and Mughals from the late 16th century did not produce among Britons a uniform view of the Islamic world but a highly diverse range of desires, repressions, investments and projections. In order to illustrate this diversity in detail, from 2002, MacLean conducted research on an extensive body of material on Anglo-Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal relations in the extensive manuscript archives of the British Library and National Archive, London, as well as manuscripts and printed sources in Oxford, Istanbul, Paris, and specialist collections in Algiers, Ankara, Damascus and Zaghouan.
