Reviews
“Efterpi Mitsi's Greece in Early English Travel Writing, 1596–1682 makes a key critical contribution not only to our growing knowledge of Renaissance travel writing, but it also urges us to nuance even further our understanding of the Ottoman empire and the complexity of its relations with early modern Europe.” (Andrew Hiscock, Bangor University, Wales, and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research Fellow, Montpellier III, France)
