Praise for this book

"Schiffer, already an acknowledged expert on the nineteenth-century British encounter with Turkey, provides an authoritative account of a neglected area of nineteenth-century oriental travel, and (...) provides a useful resource both for Ottoman historians and students of travel writing." - in: Review of English Studies, Vol. 52, No. 205 (2001)
"...this is an engaging, important book, essential reading for scholars interested in British perceptions of 'the Orient'." - in: Victorian Studies, Summer 2001
"... a very welcome and useful contribution to the field of travel literature." -in: ZAA, Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik, XLIX Jahrgang 2001, Heft 1, 1. Vierteljahr
