Writing Mobile Lives, 1500-1700
This Element develops and showcases a new methodological framework in which to study the connections between early modern travel writing and life- and self-writing. Turning the scholarly focus in the study of travel writing from eye-witnessing and proto-ethnography of foreign lands to the 'fashioned' and portrayed selves and 'inner worlds' of travellers - personal memory, autobiographical practices, and lived yet often heavily mediated travel exp…
British Encounters with Ottoman Minorities in the Early Seventeenth Century
Fynes Moryson’s Grief
Contributing to scholarship on early modern emotions, illness and self narratives, this article analyses Fynes Moryson’s (1566–1630) descriptions of his illness and grief after losing his brother during his travels in the Ottoman Levant, as he presented them in his Itinerary (1617). It argues that Moryson uses his grief to support and construct his credibility, so much so that it becomes entangled with his presentation of himself and the ‘authori…
Introduction
Writing the travelling self
This article explores the manuscript travel journal of the seventeenth century merchant adventurer Peter Mundy (d. 1667), seeking for instances of life writing amidst the hybrid forms of his textual and visual production of more than five hundred folios. It will argue that Mundy's manuscript travel journal Itinerarium Mundii, was not just a strategically selfconcealing or ‘fashioning’ text. It formed part of a life long process of accounting, edi…

In the company of Franks
This article explores how early modern English travellers viewed themselves in an ‘Ottoman mirror’ as both ‘Franks’ and Englishmen by tracing English responses to being identified by Muslims as European Christians and associated with Catholics. First, I will pay attention to contemporary definitions for Franks, second to how travellers reported being identified and treated by the Turks, and in addition, and through these depictions, to how they r…
