Abstract
Bu çalışma temel olarak farklı zaman dilimlerinde yayımlanmış İngiliz seyahatnamelerini incelemektedir. On sekiz ve on dokuzuncu yüzyıllarda Türkiye’ye gelmiş ilk seyyahların emperyalist yaklaşımlarından başlamak kaydıyla, çalışmada İngiliz seyyahların Türkiye ve Türk imajına dair algılarındaki değişiklikler kronolojik olarak yansıtılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma, oryantalizm ve emperyalizm tartışmalarını da içerecek şekilde kolonicilik sonrası ortaya atılan kuramlar çerçevesinde özellikle Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerine seyahat etmiş n İngiliz seyyahların temsillerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu analizlerde, bazen odak noktası, İngilizlerin ülkenin güneybatı sahillerinde bulunan antik eserlere yoğun ilgisine kaymıştır. Ancak, çalışma ana olarak özellikle yirminci yüzyılın ikinci yarısında ülkeye gelen önemli İngiliz seyyahların eserlerinde yansıttıkları Türk imajı ve stereotipinde meydana gelen değişiklikleri ortaya çıkarmayı hedef almaktadır.

Abstract
This study examines selected British travelogues published in the twentieth century. Starting with some imperialist representations of early travellers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it aims to demonstrate the change in perceptions of British travellers regarding Turkey and the Turks. The study analyses representations of British travellers to many parts of Turkey within the framework of post-colonial theories including orientalism and imperialism debates. In these analyses, the main focus is sometimes on Britons’ preoccupation with antiquity and ancient relics during their visits to southwest Turkey. However, the study primarily seeks to reveal how the change in the image and stereotype of the Turks is reflected by eminent British travellers in the second half of the twentieth century.
