What is The shaping of Turkey in the British imagination, 1776--1923 about?

This book is about the principal writings that shaped the perception of Turkey for informed readers in English, from Edward Gibbon’s positing of imperial __Decline and Fall__ to the proclamation of the Turkish Republic (1923), illustrating how Turkey has always been a part of the modern British and European experience. It is a great sweep of a story: from Gibbon as standard textbook, through Lord Bryon the pro-Turkish poet, and Benjamin Disraeli the Romantic novelist of all things Eastern, followed by John Buchan's __Greenmantle__ First World War espionage fantasies, and then __Manchester Guardian__ reporter Arnold Toynbee narrating the fight for Turkish independence.
