Cambridge Muslim College is pleased to announce the following public lecture:
This Orient Isle: Elizabethan England and the Islamic World
Speaker: Professor Jerry Brotton
on Wednesday 25th May 2016 from 6:30 – 8 pm.
Venue: Cambridge Muslim College, 14 St Paul’s Road, Cambridge CB1 2EZ
In this talk Jerry Brotton explains how this was the beginning of a sustained alignment between Elizabethan England and Islamic powers stretching from Morocco to Persia. It led to cultural, economic and political exchanges with the Islamic world of a depth not again experienced until the modern age. Jerry shows that England’s relations with the Muslim world were far more extensive, and often more amicable, than we have ever appreciated, and that their influence was felt across the political, commercial and domestic landscape of Elizabethan England, even touching Shakespeare. It is a startlingly unfamiliar picture of a part of England’s national history that has up until this point been sadly neglected.
Everyone has their own level and causes of erectile dysfunction, so the dosage of Levitra can be selected individually at https://signanthealth.com/levitra-ed-treatment/ or during consultation with an urologist. I take half a pill of Levitra when I drink a lot or when the situation does not allow me to relax. Levitra starts to act within 15 minutes after consumption.
