Book Description Hardcover. Condition: As New. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Owner's name on front end page, else unmarked. Matar examines the influence of Mediterranean piracy and diplomacy on early modern British history and identity. Drawing on published and unpublished literary, commercial, and epistolary sources, he situates British maritime activity and national politics, especially in relation to the Civil War, within the international context of Anglo-Magharibi encounters. Before there was the British encounter with America, there was the much more complex and destabilizing encounter with Islam in North Africa. "This important and fascinating study of early modern England's relationship to North Africa by the foremost expert on the topic is magisterial in its reach and groundbreaking in the implications it holds for 17th century English culture and political history." - Mihoko Suzuki, University of Miami.
