Books in the Library of Ottoman Studies series

Frontiers of Ottoman Studies provides a comprehensive overview of the surge in research into Ottoman history and culture over the past two decades. This first volume reflects the growing interest in the provinces, communities and cultures outside the imperial capital of Istanbul.

For more than two centuries the Levant Company enjoyed a monopoly of British trade with the Ottoman Empire and provided Britain's diplomatic representation at the Sultan's court. This work examines the supporting cast of Britons who lived and worked alongside the merchants at the Company's three principal trading posts during the 18th century.
