      abstract = {This book is a study of the representation of the Persian  empire in English drama across the early modern period,  from the 1530s to the 1690s. Its wide focus, encompassing  fifteen dramatic entertainments, both canonical and  little-known, allows it to trace the changes and  developments in the dramatic use of Persia and its people  across the period. It explores what Persia signified to  English playwrights and audiences in this period; ideas and  associations conjured up by mention of Persia; and where  information about Persia came from. It also considers how  ideas about Persia changed with the development of global  travel and trade, as English people came into contact with  Persians for the first time. In addressing these issues,  this book provides an examination not only of the  representation of Persia in dramatic material, but of the  broader relationship between travel, politics and the  theatre in early modern England. Chloe Houston is Associate  Professor in the Department of English Literature at the  University of Reading, UK.},
