The Edinburgh History of the Greeks, 1768 to 1913 : The Long Nineteenth Century EPUB
by Thomas W. Gallant
Part of the The Edinburgh History of the Greeks series
EPUB
Description
Traces the rich social, cultural, economic and political history of the Greeks from 1768 to 1913
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 of the Diaspora.
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
Thomas W. Gallant holds the Nicholas Family Endowed Chair in Modern Greek History at the University of California, San Diego.
