This book examines Persian characters in English drama (1561-1696) to animate a new narrative of transnational relationships and structures of power in the Early Modern period. Several plays, from Godly Queene Hester to Cyrus the Great, are read alongside early modern English prose and poetry, toleration discourse, and European peace proposals.
