Description
This study explores the impact of Islam on early modern Britain from 1558 to 1685. Contrary to common perceptions, Christian-Muslim interactions during this period were not primarily adversarial, but rather involved extensive cultural, intellectual, and missionary engagement.
Professor Nabil Matar examines how the Qur'an and Sufism influenced British society, highlighting instances of interaction through travel, London coffee houses, church sermons, plays, and among converts to and from Islam.
The book sheds light on a significant chapter in Britain's history, revealing the complex and multifaceted nature of Islamic presence in early modern England.
