Especially in the late fifteenthcentury and the sixteenth century, the Ottoman Empire, as the leader andspreader of Islam, began to have a profound impact on three continents andachieved several military victories, which led Western Europeans to fear that itwould bring the downfall of Christianity.

Özet
Osmanlı İmparatorluğu on üçüncü yüzyıl sonundan yirminci yüzyılınbaşına dek süren, etkisini sadece Avrupaya değil Orta Doğu, Anadolu ve KuzeyAfrikaya da yaymış olan, coğrafi, ekonomik, dini ve politik olarak güçlü birimparatorluktur. Özellikle geç on beşinci ve on altıncı yüzyıllarda Osmanlıİmparatorluğu İslamın önderi ve yayıcısı olarak üç kıtada, Batı AvrupalılarıHıristiyanlığı yıkacağı korkusuna sevk eden, derin tesirler bırakmaya ve askeribaşarılar kazanmaya başlamıştır. Osmanlılara Avrupaya ayak bastıranKostantiniyyenin (bugünkü İstanbul) II. Mehmet tarafından fethedilmesi ve I.Selimin İslam dünyasının halifesi olması Osmanlı İmparatorluğunu İslamınönderi olduğu fikrini güçlendirerek önlenemez ilerlemesiyle Osmanlıları Avrupakarşısında büyüyen bir tehdide dönüştürmüştür. Bu bağlamda, bu makale TheTurke and Gowin, Roland and Vernagu, The Romance of Otuel, Richard Coer deLyon, Octovian, King Horn, Sir Ferumbras, The Sowdone of Babylone, The Segeoff Melayne, Geoffrey Chaucerın Canterbury Hikâyeleri (The CanterburyTales), Edmund Spenserın The Faerie Queene, Sir Philip Sidneyin Astropheland Stella ve The Def ense of Poesy eserleri çerçevesindeMüslümanlar/Sarasenler ile ilişkilendirilen Türklerin/Osmanlıların ortaçağ veElizabeth dönemi İngiliz şiirinde yer alan tasvirlerini ve her iki dönemde dini,kültürel ve etnik diğer olarak ilişkilendirmelerini tartışmaktadır.
