Question

A book co-authored by Walter G. Andrews coins an “age of beloveds” in the literature of this empire to compare it to similar trends in the writing of its peers. Colin Imber attacked a theory about this empire’s early history by calling the period a “black hole.” The standard Western account for decades, the “Hammer History” was a ten-volume work on this empire by Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall. An account of the final days of this empire was presented in the (*) 36-hour Nutuk (10[1])speech. Though now discredited, Paul Wittek posited (10[1])that this empire’s early growth was fueled by holy war in the ghaza thesis. (10[1])Keeping imperial successors in the Kafes (“kah-FAYSS”) and the transition (10[1])from the timariot system to tax-farming were cited as elements of this empire’s “decline” from its 16th-century peak by Bernard Lewis. For 10 points, the legacy of what empire has been minimized in histories influenced by Mustafa Kemal? ■END■
