Notlar	The power of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th and 17th centuries was felt all over the continent. This might triggered a sort of anxiety in many European nations, especially England and found its way to their dramatic writings. Since the Ottoman Turks were both feared and admired, their representation in English Renaissance dramatic arena, where playwrights debated their cross cultural encounter with them, was characterized by ambiguity. This dubiety stemmed from the fact that the English nation then viewed the Ottoman Turks as powerful, savage and infidel at the same time. Though the English Monarchs tried to bridge the gap with that Muslim Empire without taking the risk of turning Turk, this indecisive discourse was popular on many levels in England in the Post Reformation period. Furthermore, it was also fed by the memories of the crusades and the many previous confrontations between the Muslim East and the Christian West. Therefore, the recurrent references and allusions to the Ottoman Turks in the English Renaissance drama can qualify to a representational phenomenon that unveils the profundity of the crisis of the English nascent nation at that time. Consequently, the focus of this research is to examine the multidimensional context in which Shakespeare's Othello was produced to both reflect and engage with this phenomenon. The research adopts a new historicist approach to exploring this issue in Othello. In fact, the analysis of this multilayered historical moment testifies that the reproduction of the crisis in Othello is sophisticated and sociocultural- based.
