Book Description
Excerpt from A Journal Kept in Turkey and Greece: In the Autumn of 1857 and the Beginning of 1858 The following pages contain extracts from a Journal which I kept in Therapia, The Troad, Smyrna, and Athens, in the autumn and winter of 1857 - 1858, It was written with no view to publication; but, as it throws light on questions of political importance, I think that I ought not, under present circumstances, to withhold it. The state of affairs in the East is strange, and is imperfectly understood in England. We have had to take part in them, we may have to do so again, and every one must be anxious that our conduct should be governed by as much knowledge as can be obtained. I believe that the conversations, of which this Journal mainly consists, are faithfully reported. Whenever I had an opportunity, I submitted the reports to the interlocutors themselves.

Glimpses of the Bulgarian Other in British Travel Literature
Author: Dimitrios KassisPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527591077
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Until its emancipation from the Ottoman yoke, Bulgaria always occupied an unprivileged and unfavourable position in British imagination, from the very first mention of the country in Western travelogues. However, since the late eighteenth century, the Bulgarian nation has been subjected to the scrutiny of the British traveller owing to its proximity to other nations whose national struggles received more prominence, and consequently overshadowed the Bulgarians’ National Renaissance, such as Serbia and Greece. This volume concerns all the depictions of Bulgaria as a dystopian land from the eighteenth century until the country’s emergence as an important military power after its Liberation movement in 1878. In these travel narratives, the notion of the Bulgarian nationhood is described as an antithesis to idea of the civilised British, but also as a threat to the stability of the Ottoman Empire. With the rapid decline of the latter, from a mere Ottoman province, Bulgaria gradually transforms into a nation whose National Revival efforts come to the fore to question the British and Ottoman depictions of the Bulgarian nation as subaltern and uncultivated.
On the Way to the "(Un)Known"?
Author: Doris GruberPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110698048
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
This volume brings together twenty-two authors from various countries who analyze travelogues on the Ottoman Empire between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. The travelogues reflect the colorful diversity of the genre, presenting the experiences of individuals and groups from China to Great Britain. The spotlight falls on interdependencies of travel writing and historiography, geographic spaces, and specific practices such as pilgrimages, the hajj, and the harem. Other points of emphasis include the importance of nationalism, the place and time of printing, representations of fashion, and concepts of masculinity and femininity. By displaying close, comparative, and distant readings, the volume offers new insights into perceptions of "otherness", the circulation of knowledge, intermedial relations, gender roles, and digital analysis.
A History of Modern Greek Economic Thought
Author: Michalis PsalidopoulosPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 131541340X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Tracing the evolution of economic ideas in the context of the economic history and economic policy issues in Greece, this book examines the history of modern Greek economic thought from the War of Independence from Ottoman rule in 1821 until the present. The book explores how native, religious-oriented economic thought was secularized and merged with different economic discourses during successive historical periods. It traces how the dissemination of French and German economic thought in the 19th century was followed by British and US influences in the 20th century. The institutionalization of economics as a discipline in the 1920s and its internationalization after 1971, with their effects on the emergence of modern mainstream and heterodox thought, are also discussed. Finally, reference is made to contemporary Greek economic thought in the frame of European Union economic thinking. This book will be of interest to readers in the history of economic thought, economic history, intellectual history, Greek history, and modern European history more broadly.
