| Popis | The aim of this presentation is to analyse two English Jacobean plays, A Christian Turned Turk written by Robert Daborne and The Renegado written by Philip Massinger, with respect to the image of “Turkishness”, i.e., the stereotypical portrayal of the Turks and their culture. After taking into account the historical context of the period, a literary analysis of the two plays is provided. Finally, The Eurocentric perspective that these two plays express is then put into the frame of Edward Said's theory of Orientalism. |
