Reviews

Thomas Gallant's History of the Greeks offers at one and the same time a book that can be taught in class as well as advance the knowledge of experts, read in the metro as well as discussed at academic conferences, engage unsuspecting readers as well as surprise specialists. His writing is not only bright and clear; it is also light and imbued with a sense of humour. When all is said and done, Gallant's delve into the past has produced the most all-encompassing account of the Greek long nineteenth century yet to be written, a book that has genuine literary merit and at the same time can be usefully taught in class.
