Summary "Travels in Turkey and Back to England" by Edmund Chishull is a travelogue written in the early 18th century. The book recounts Chishull's observations and experiences as he journeys through various regions in Turkey, detailing the customs, landscapes, and historical significance of the places he encounters. The narrative provides an engaging exploration of the cultural and geographical diversity of the region during a period of significant historical interest. At the start of the work, Chishull lays the groundwork for his adventure, explaining his departure from England and arrival in Smyrna, where he served as the chaplain to the Turkey Company. He describes his initial forays into travel within the region, highlighting the companions who join him and their plans to explore places like Ephesus and Magnesia. The opening also details the natural beauty and cultural intrigue of the landscapes they traverse, as well as the ceremonies observed along the way, setting the stage for the rich tapestry of experiences that will follow throughout his travels.
