Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines information flows between England and the Maghreb – how news was witnessed, gathered, mediated and distributed – to understand how English-speaking expatriates in the Maghreb influenced public perceptions of the other. Using little-known manuscript material and printed news about the Maghreb, I argue that expatriates were instrumental in the detailed, up-to-date and largely polemic-free coverage in seventeenth-century English periodical news, and key players in the contest over representations of European news in the Maghreb. By exploring the everyday processes that governed communication, the paper offers new insight into reciprocal and productive Anglo-Maghrebi interactions in the era of Mediterranean corsairing.
