Publisher Synopsis
'The essays, and the translated texts on which they depend, enrich our reading experience of a number of European literary texts that would not have gone beyond a local significance had they only had a bond with the society from which they sprang. It could also be added that Roxolana herself becomes a cosmopolitan character through being rescued, by means of this volume, from her Turkish harem and being connected with major European literature.' Modern Language Review 'Galina Yermolenko's elegant, comprehensive, and well-balanced edited volume takes as its focus Roxolana, one of the most significant figures at the court of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and traces European and Turkish reactions to their images of her from the 1530s to the present day. ... This book is a strong contribution to European cultural history and will be of use to anyone interested in the shifting attitudes toward powerful women over the last four hundred years.' Russian Review 'Roxolana in European Literature, History and Culture is a valuable contribution not only to our understanding of the ways in which early curiosity in Roxolana manifested itself but also how it changed over time across Europe.'
