An outstanding contribution to our understanding of the Greek
Revolution and its immense consequences on global history, from an
impressive group of distinguished scholars covering an astonishing
range of topics on the revolutionary decade of the 1820s. This
attractive, monumental work will be indispensable as we reflect on
the bicentennial and the significance of the simultaneously old and
young nation of Greece.
*Georgios Varouxakis, Queen Mary University of London*
Contemporaries saw the Greek Revolution as a liberal beacon in an
age of reaction; two centuries later, it seems to anticipate later
independence movements, nationalist uprisings, civil wars, and
refugee crises. The Greek Revolution magisterially reframes its
significance within a global age of revolutions. A more impressive
bicentennial tribute would be hard to imagine.
