Greece in Transition: Essays in the History of Modern Greece, 1821-1974

This book provides a stimulating, interpretive history of modern Greece. Assuming no prior knowledge, the authors describe the development of the country through its emergence as a modern state up to the present day. They also introduce readers to the latest historical scholarship, encouraging critical engagement with comparative questions about the nature of nationhood in the modern era. Looking beyond the immediate political boundaries of a given country, the authors examine the interplay between the local, national, and international, setting of the story of a nation within the context of the wider world.
