Description:
Baltimore: Johns Hopkins, 1994 Book. New. Hardcover. 1st.US Edition. In "French Odysseys", Olga Augustinos offers a comprehensive treatment of French travel literature about Greece - from the mid-16th-century arrival of the first French travellers to the outbreak of the Greek Revolution in 1821. The result not only provides a composite portrait of Greece over two and a half centuries but also offers a revealing look at the evolving values and perceptual framework of the travellers themselves. Augustinos begins by exploring the dramatic differences between French travel writing of the early modern era and previous accounts of medieval religious pilgrimages. In place of otherworldly invocations of the grace of divine providence came emphasis on visual perception and precise observation as a means of understanding the physical universe. After 1750, in keeping with developments in European literature, travelogues became infused with sentimental musings, picturesque portrayals of natural sites…

Description:
London: I.B. Tauris, 2010 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. For almost four hundred years, between the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the Greek War of Independence, the history of Greece is shrouded in mystery: distorted by Greek writers and largely neglected by others. What was life really like for the Greeks under Ottoman rule? Was it a period of exploitation and enslavement for the Greeks until they were finally able to rise up against Turkish rule, as is the traditional, Greek nationalistic view? Or did the Greeks derive some benefit from Turkish rule? How did the Greeks and Turks co-exist for so long? And, why are Greek attitudes towards Venice, who also controlled much of Greece for many of these years, so different? In this wide-ranging yet concise history David Brewer explodes many of the myths about Turkish rule of Greece. He places the Greek story in its wider, international context and casts fresh light on the dynamics of power not only between Greeks and Ottomans but also between…

Accounts of the travellers who visited Greece and the Levant during this time. "Kyriakos Simopoulos' work is totally a very important and impressive publishing effort.because of the huge quantity of the primary material, which is included in his work and the detailed scientific processing of it by the author. In the 2.849 pages of the complete series about "Foreign Travellers in Greece" are found a panorama of Greek life from the Byzantine years until 1821 and the . Greek Revolution.". NOTE : This is VOLUME 2 ONLY of what was a monumental set originally issued 1972-1975. 839p.
