Peter Madsen Framing ‘Turks’: Representations of Ottomans and Moors in Continental European Litera- ture 1453-1683, ed. Peter Madsen Nordic Journal of Renaissance Studies 16 • 2019 General Editor of NJRS: Camilla Horster (NJRS was formerly known as Renæssanceforum: Journal of Renaissance Studies) ISSN 2597-0143. URL: www.njrs.dk/njrs_16_2019.htm FRAMING ‘TURKS’ NJRS 16 • 2019 • www.njrs.dk Preface The focus of this issue of Nordic Journal of Renaissance Studies is on Conti- nental Europe, i.e., areas bordering or situated near the Ottoman Empire or otherwise involved in close encounters. It has thus been important to include often neglected, yet most important nations like The Polish-Lithuanian Com- monwealth and Hungary (following the lead of the excellent volume edited by Bodo Guthmüller and Wilhelm Kühlmann: Europa und die Türken in der Renaissance, Tübingen 2000). It has also been important to consider literature beyond well-known classics, thus including works that attracted more atten- tion in their own times than they do today. Finally, it should be underscored how the literary (and intellectual) field beyond the vernaculars included pub- lications in Latin. The introduction is an attempt to situate the subject matter of the individual contributions within a broader historical, intellectual and literary field, thus including further documentation and additional literary examples. ‘Turks’ was the current denomination of contemporary Muslims, whether North African or Spanish ‘Moors’, or inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire or its spheres of various sorts of influence. It should be stressed, though, that although the Ottomans in terms of power and political establishment were Turkish, the inhabitants of the Empire were multi-ethnic and multi-religious.

The present volume, entitled War Diary of the German Naval Staff, Op- erations Division , Part A, Volume 2tf, is the first one of the series to appear. Other volumes will follow shortly. 2. The War Diaries, Part A, are important because they contain a day by day summary of the information available to the German Naval Staff and the decisions reached on the basis thereof. To- gether with the Fuehrer Conferences on Matters Dealing with the German Navy, 1939- 19^5 # which are in the process of being pub- lished by this office, the War Diaries should provide valuable material for the study of naval problems arising from total war.

She was built and launched in 1871 in Sunderland (Great Britain) in the yards of Iliff, Mounsey, and Co. (Sunderland), with the name of Mecca and her British owner was Mr. Ralph Milbanke Hudson Junior. In 1872 she was sold to the Lloyd Italiano company and was rechristened as Livorno. In 1876 her ownership changed once more and she became part of the fleet of the Genoese shipping company Rubattino and Co. with the name Bengala. The steamer was sold for the last time at the launch of the Navigazione Generale Italiana in 1881, one of the largest shipping companies in Europe. Until now, no scientific study has been dedicated to this topic and the few references in the literature are often incorrect.

Despite the myth that the RM shirked from battle during the campaign for control of the Mediterranean, Italian cruisers were active throughout the war and established several respectable combat records. As a signatory of the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, the RM immediately attempted to reinforce its treaty-limited battleship force with large 10,000-ton cruisers. Before the start of the war, the RM had built seven of these ships, eventually called heavy cruisers, giving them numerical parity with the French Navy.

  • British Perceptions of the Italian Navy, 1935-1943
    1 An Enduring Influence on Imperial Defence and Grand Strategy: British Perceptions of the Italian Navy, 1935-1943 The Mediterranean Sea was a vital artery in the British imperial system, the importance of which grew rapidly after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. By linking the homeland to the prized possessions of the Far East; India, Ceylon and Singapore, and to the Australasian dominions, control of the Mediterranean and the security of its sea lanes were essential to the free flow of men and goods between the homeland and these distant stations, as well as the sending of military forces to protect them. Within the region itself, vital natural resources from the Middle East could also be returned to Britain. Consequently, regional powers bordering the Mediterranean have long held an important role in British imperial strategy and foreign policy. Of those European states with access to that sea, Italy was one of the most significant. Prior to unification, Piedmont was viewed as an important strategic buffer between France and Austria, which prevented either from dominating the central Mediterranean. The existence of a unified, stable and friendly state to act as a counterweight to France was a major contributing factor to subsequent British support for the “Risorgimento”.1 In the 19th Century, French naval concentrations in the region, and their conceptual development of the Jeune Ecole threatened Britain's vital “strategic corridor”. Concerns over this and the threat from Russia led to the 1887 Mediterranean Agreement between Britain, Italy and Austria-Hungary, wherein Italy again played a stabilising role.2 It was to play a similar part in British strategy after entering the First World War, being charged with containing the Austro-Hungarian Navy and safeguarding maritime communications.
