Lim -- Persia, Tartaria, and Pamphilia: Ideas of Asia in Mary Worth's The Countess ofMontgomery's Urania, Part II / Bernadette Andrea -- Romancing the Turk: Trade, Race, and Nation inSpenser's The Faerie Queene / Marion Hollings -- "Turning Turk," Early Modern English Orientalism, and Shakespeare's Othello / Debra Johanyak -- Indian and Amazon: The Oriental Feminine in A MidsummerNight's Dream / James W.

The English Renaissance, Orientalism, and the Idea of Asia is an important collection of essays that examine the complex significations of "Asia" in the literary and cultural production of early modern England.It posits that the interest in merchant and overseas ventures and fascination with foreign lands influenced the canonical literary works of the period and spurred Orientalism. While such major literary figures asMarlowe, Shakespeare, Bacon, Spenser, and Milton are considered for their contribution to the writing of early modern English Orientalism, theoretical questions pertainingto the significance of postcolonial criticism and cultural studies are also addressed in this groundbreaking volume.
