Yet, the rebellion against Ottoman rule was enormously influential in its time, and its resonances are felt across modern history. The Greeks inspired others to throw off the oppression that developed in the backlash to the French Revolution. Europeans, in general, were hardly blind to the sight of Christian subjects toppling Muslim rulers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of essays, Paschalis Kitromilides and Constantinos Tsoukalas bring together scholars writing on the many facets of the Greek Revolution and placing it squarely within the revolutionary age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn impressive roster of contributors traces the revolution as it unfolded and analyses its regional and transnational repercussions, including the Romanian and Serbian revolts that spread the spirit of the Greek uprising through the Balkans. The essays also elucidate religious and cultural dimensions of Greek nationalism, including the power of the Orthodox church.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne essay looks at the triumph of the idea of a Greek \"homeland,\" which bound the Greek diaspora—and its financial contributions—to the revolutionary cause. Another essay examines the Ottoman response, involving a series of reforms to the imperial military and allegiance system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNoted scholars cover major figures of the revolution; events as they were interpreted in the press, art, literature, and music; and the impact of intellectual movements such as philhellenism and the Enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthoritative and accessible, \u003ci\u003eThe Greek Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e confirms the profound political significance and long-lasting cultural legacies of a pivotal event in world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000785322220,"sku":"9780674987432","price":80.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/dd5cb9a62edd91fa109f0d50cd7145d4.jpg?v=1763323324","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-greek-revolution-9780674987432","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
