This paper consists in a historical survey of some of the treatments that the Albanian hero Scanderbeg has received in British literature--from the Elizabethan period until the early Twentieth Century--emphasizing in particular the ambivalence with which the character is invested in many such treatments in consequence of Scanderbeg's contradictory image as champion of Christianity in the struggle against the Ottomans and at the same time as traitor to the people in whose culture he was raised.

Abstract
This paper consists in a historical survey of some of the treatments that the Albanian hero Scanderbeg has received in British literature--from the Elizabethan period until the early Twentieth Century--emphasizing in particular the ambivalence with which the character is invested in many such treatments in consequence of Scanderbeg's contradictory image as champion of Christianity in the struggle against the Ottomans and at the same time as traitor to the people in whose culture he was raised.File in questo prodotto:
