A love story between a Muslim traveller and a Catholic girl, an English craftsman’s anxiety at the court of an Ottoman Sultan, a disgusting meal in a foreign land, are just a few examples of emotionally freighted situations which are unlikely to be found in any genre but a travel book. Their narratives yield uncommon notions of emotions, namely the emotions of encounter. They display their emotions in their dreams, humour, and other subjective experiences. They associate emotions with the contexts of their journeys, their volition to travel, and their authorial motives to write about their journeys. In these travel books, al-Ḥajarī, Dallam, and Evliya narrate their journeys as emotionally protean experiences. It attempts a close textual, intertextual, and contextual analysis of several embedded narratives on emotions in three late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century travel books: Kitāb Nāṣir al-Dīn ’ala ‛l-Qawm al-Kāfirīn: Mukhtaṣar Riḥlat al-Shihāb ‛ila Liqā´ al-Aḥbāb by Andalusian traveller Ahmed bin Qāsim alḤajarī (1570- c.1641), The Diary of Master Thomas Dallam by an English craftsman, Thomas Dallam (1575-1630), and Seyahâtnâme (The Book of Travels) by Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi (1611-1685).
