In what ways can we consider Marlowe's Tamburlaine the Great a nomad: ethnic origins (Scynthian,Tatar), shepherd background, raiding, violent action?
The issue raised by the question is what "nomads" and "nomadism" meant in the renaissance imagination. It would be interesting to see how "nomads" were perceived in the Western imagination from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance to the nineteenth century.
