Thomas Gallant

Opis

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
