As part of this year’s LSE Literary Festival, we explore the rich interaction between east and west with Jerry Brotton, whose forthcoming book “This Orient Isle: Elizabethan England and the Islamic World” explores Elizabethan England’s relations with the Muslim world, and Peter Frankopan, whose recent book “The Silk Roads: A New History of the World” looks at world history from the perspective of this trading route of culture and ideas.
