The Ottomans: Khans, Caesars and Caliphs I Marc David Baer in conversation with William Dalrymple
Presented by Hawthornden Literary Retreat
Marc David Baer’s radical retelling of the Ottomans challenges traditional notions of the vast Ottoman Empire, illuminating a cultural domain that was not the antithesis to the Christian-European West but its equal. In conversation with William Dalrymple, Baer unravels Western notions of sexuality, orientalism, genocide, and history itself, through the chronicles of a formidable world empire.
Marc David Baer is a Professor of International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is the author of five books, including Honoured by the Glory of Islam: Conversion and Conquest in Ottoman Europe, which won the Albert Hourani Prize.
William Dalrymple is one of Britain’s great historians and the bestselling author of the Wolfson Prize-winning White Mughals, The Last Mughal, which won the Duff Cooper Prize, and the Hemingway and Kapuściński Prize-winning Return of a King.
