Authors:
- Suggests that the presence of the Ottoman Empire on the early modern English stage was due to the London repertory system, rather than cultural engagement between a Christian nation and Islamic 'other'
- Examines a variety of sources ranging from Henslowe's Diary to Shakespeare's plays
- Approaches the question of the 'Turk' as a playhouse construct, using playhouse records, playbills, and playscripts
