About this book
This book explores Ottoman-Turkish involvement and interest in the subject between 1870, when Heinrich Schliemann began his excavations in search of Troy on Ottoman soil, and the battle of Gallipoli in 1915, which gave the Turks their own version of the heroic epic of Troy.

Reviews
"Uslu’s book provides significant insights into late Ottoman cultural and intellectual history. It also successfully brings together the Ottoman and European experiences connected with Homer and Troy and urges us to cross the established borders between European and Ottoman historiographies."
