Liberating Hellenism from the Ottoman Empire: Comte de Marcellus and the Last of the Classics
ISBN: 9780230100237 / Angielski / Twarda / 251 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Liberating Hellenism from the Ottoman Empire explores two key historical episodes that have generally escaped the notice of modern Greece, the Near East, and their observers alike. In the midst of the highly charged context of West-East confrontation and with fundamental cultural and political issues at stake, these episodes prove to be exciting and important platforms from which to reexamine the age-old conflict. This book reaches beyond the standard sources to dig into the archives for important events that have fallen through the cracks of the study of emerging modern Greece and the...

The Despotate of Epiros 1267-1479: A Contribution to the History of Greece in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780521130899 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The district of Epiros in north-western Greece became an independent province following the Fourth Crusade and the dismemberment of the Byzantine Empire by the Latins in 1204. It retained its independence despite the recovery of Constantinople by the Greeks in 1261. Each of its rulers acquired the Byzantine titles of Despot, from which the term Despotate was coined to describe their territory. They preserved their autonomy partly by seeking support from their foreign neighbours in Italy. The fortunes of Epiros were thus affected by the expansionist plans of the Angevin kings of Naples and the...

Scattered off the west coast of mainland Greece are the seven Ionian Islands, celebrated for their spectacular landscapes, olive groves and classical associations.

The unsurpassed beauty of the islands and of the Pindus Mountains has stimulated the imagination of...

Language and National Identity in Greece, 1766-1976
ISBN: 9780199599059 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a history of the great language controversy that has occupied and empassioned Greeks -- sometimes with fatal results -- for over two hundred years. It begins in the late eighteenth-century when a group of Greek intellectuals sought to develop a new, Hellenic, national identity alongside the traditional identity supplied by Orthodox Christianity. The ensuing controversy focused on the language, fuelled on the one hand by a desire to develop a form of Greek that expressed the Greeks' relationship to the ancients, and on the other by the different groups' contrasting notions of what the...

This book explores the reactions and coping mechanisms displayed in both societies in reaction to Europe's all-pervasive influence. Elites in both societies engaged in defensive modernization, culminating in parallel attempts to mould their nations in line with the western blueprint.

East Rome, Sasanian Persia and the End of Antiquity: Historiographical and Historical Studies
ISBN: 9780860789925 / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The last, longest and most damaging of the wars fought between East Rome and Sasanian Persia (603a 628) brought the classical phase of west Eurasian history to a dramatic close. Despite its evident significance, not least as the distant setting for Muhammad's prophetic mission, this last great war of antiquity attracted comparatively little scholarly attention until the last decades of the twentieth century. James Howard-Johnston's contributions to the subject, most of which were published in out-of-the-way places (one, that on al-Tabari, is printed for the first time), are brought together...
