(P/B) THE EDINBURGH HISTORY OF THE GREEKS, 1768 TO 1913

Παρουσίαση

Often referred to as the 'Long Nineteenth Century,' this period witnessed the establishment of a Greek nation-state which had a profound impact on the Greeks everywhere.
Innovatively situating the story of the Greeks into a broader Ottoman and Mediterranean context, Thomas Gallant presents the most in-depth exploration of Greek society and culture available in any language. This is a substantive and original contribution to the study of the Greek people during the Modern period.
Key features:
- An interdisciplinary approach bridges history, anthropology and archaeology
- Emphasises social history, including an in-depth discussion of Greek rural society and economy
- Brings Greek history and Ottoman history into dialogue in a way that hasn't been done before
- Includes over 70 figures - maps, illustrations, tables and line drawings - which illustrate the key aspects of Greek social life. (From the publisher)
