Andrea, Bernadette. Women and Islam in Early Modern English Literature. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007.
Investigates the conceptualization of Muslim societies among early modern English women. The work draws upon a range of sources—including romances, travelogues, and diplomatic correspondence—to sketch the ways in which English women took part in early modern Orientalist encounters. Engages conversations in gender studies, Mediterranean studies, and the cultural history of England.
