Early Modern Narratives of Islam across Europe

This book analyses early modern narratives that have shaped Europe's understanding of its Islamic heritage and produces reflective material addressing four main themes: religion, permeability, opposition, and images. The chapters herein seek to create a connected history, defining pan-European trends rather than comparative histories. Through collaborative research, the contributors to this volume explore the narratives that circulated in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean, if and how these narratives linked different regions, and their lasting influence on modern views.
