A seventeenth-century English traveler to the Eastern Mediterranean would have faced a problem in writing about this unfamiliar place: how to describe its inhabitants in a way his countrymen would understand? In an age when a European education meant mastering the Classical literature of Greece & Rome he would naturally turn to touchstones like the Iliad to explain the exotic customs of Ottoman lands. His Turk would have been Homers Turk. An account of epic sweep spanning the Crusades the Indian Raj & the postwar decline of the British Empire Homers Turk illuminates how English writers of all eras have relied on the Classics to help them understand the world once called the Orient."

Such image-making Toner argues persists today in some of the ways the West frames its relationship with the Islamic world & the rising powers of India & China. Discussing examples that range from Jacobean travelogues to Hollywood blockbusters Homers Turk proves that there is no permanent version of either the ancient past or the East in English writing--the two have been continually reinvented alongside each other." ...
