The Greek Revolution of 1821 and its Global Significance
ISBN: 9786185369439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. It has been called the age of revolution. The white heat of it came in the decades either side of the year 1800. But it lasted a full century: from the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 to the great national unifications of Germany and Italy during the 1860s. Right in the middle of this long age of revolution and, as it turns out, the pivotal point within it, comes the Greek Revolution that broke out in the spring of 1821. Historians have been slow to recognise the key role of the Greek uprising in 1821, and the international recognition of Greece as a sovereign,...

Byron: The Poetry of Politics and the Politics of Poetry
ISBN: 9781472459633 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 'It is no great matter, supposing that Italy could be liberated, who or what is sacrificed. It is a grand object - the very poetry of politics. Only think - a free Italy Why, there has been nothing like it since the days of Augustus.' So wrote Lord Byron in his journal, in February 1821, only days before the outbreak of revolution in Greece, where three years later he would die in the service of the revolutionary cause. For a poet whose life and work are interlaced with action of multiple sorts, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to Byron's engagement with issues of politics....

A wide-ranging study of popular poetry and song in the Greek language from the last years of the Byzantine Empire to the present day.

The Making of Modern Greece: Nationalism, Romanticism, and the Uses of the Past (1797-1896)
ISBN: 9780754664987 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Every Greek and every friend of the country knows the date 1821, when the banner of revolution was raised against the empire of the Ottoman Turks, and the story of 'Modern Greece' is usually said to begin.

This places Greece in the vanguard among the new nation-states of Europe whose emergence would gather momentum through to the early twentieth century, a process whose repercussions continue to this day. Starting out from...

First published by CUP in 1989, The Medieval Greek Romance provides basic information for the non-specialist about Greek fiction during the period 1071-1453, as well as proposing new solutions to problems that have vexed previous generations of scholars.

From Byzantium to Modern Greece: Medieval Texts and Their Modern Reception
ISBN: 9780754659693 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The twelfth century was a time of cultural renewal and innovation in Byzantium, just as it was in the west. In literature, the long disused genres of epic, satire and the novel (or 'romance') took new forms during that century; at the same time, in language, the vernacular made its first tentative literary appearances. These developments continued uninterruptedly through the late Byzantine and early modern periods. Scholarship since the nineteenth century has been sharply divided over these texts: do they represent the first 'breakthrough' of an emergent 'Modern Greek' literature, or merely a...

Digenes Akrites: New Approaches to Byzantine Heroic Poetry
ISBN: 9781138271036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Called variously the Byzantine epic, the epic of Modern Greece, an epic-romance and romance, the poem of Digenes Akrites has, since its rediscovery towards the end of the nineteenth century, exerted a tenacious hold on the imagination of scholars from a wide range of disciplines and from many countries of the world, as well as of writers and public figures in Greece. There are many reasons for this, not least among them the prestige accorded to national epics in the nineteenth century and for some time afterwards. Another reason must surely be the work s uniqueness: there is nothing quite...
