Turkish Travels

Four centuries of English-language travelers, Montagu, Byron, Twain, Macaulay, Stark, wrote the Ottoman world and Turkey into being for Western readers, and this elective treats their books as both literature and evidence of how the "East" gets imagined. You'll read primary travel narratives alongside critical frameworks like Said's Orientalism and Bhabha's third space, working through themes such as the Grand Tour, women travelers and gendered observation, the picturesque, and the slippery line between fact and fiction. Expect close reading, contextual essays, and oral discussion; the payoff is a sharper toolkit for any later course in postcolonial theory, cultural studies, or nineteenth-century literature.
