The Cambridge Companion to Ottoman History

Why study Ottoman history? What are the available sources? And how can researchers begin locating, reading, and interpreting these? The Cambridge Companion to Ottoman History provides a broad introduction to the field, offering readers accessible outlines of its varied methods and approaches. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers, the volume considers the theoretical, methodological, and practical challenges faced by Ottoman historians. Including chapters from specialists in areas ranging from intellectual history to labor history and gender history, the Companion critically examines prior developments in the field, and indicates potential paths for future research. Beginning with a thorough grounding in the primary sources available, the Companion then turns to the perspectives and critical frames of the discipline. This volume is an essential teaching guide, and an invaluable entry point to the breadth and the possibilities of Ottoman history.Author: Edited by Alexis Wick,editor Contributors: Edited by Alexis Wick,editor Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 20 Mar 2025 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Cambridge University Press Author/Director/Artist: Alexis Wick Dimension (cm): 229x152x24 mm Package Dimension (cm): 31x235x157 mm Item Weight (g): 758 Package Weight (g): 790
