Reihe: Ottoman and Turkish Studies

By looking at the contributions to Turkish literature of non-Muslim authors, this book lays the groundwork for a history of literature which uncouples language and religion and recreates the spaces of dialogue and exchange that have existed in late Ottoman Turkey between members of various ethno-religious communities.
