The Edinburgh History of the Greeks, 1453 to 1768

The Edinburgh History of the Greeks, 1453 to 1768 comprehensively covers the cultural, economic and political development of the Greeks under Ottoman rule. It fills a crucial vacuum in the field and performs a much needed role as a basic text on the history of an important community of the Balkans and Anatolia over the full span of its half millennium experience of Ottoman rule. * Dr Rhoads Murphy, Reader in Ottoman Studies, University of Birmingham *
Drawing upon a deep well of her own research and scholarship on the eastern Mediterranean and the Ottoman Empire, and incorporating, diplomatically and synthetically, a new wave of post-nationalist Greek scholarship on the Ottoman Empire, Greene has crafted here a balanced, expertly pitched, and foundational analysis of Hellenism in the early-modern period. -- Andrew Robarts, Rhode Island School of Design * Journal of World History *
Invaluable for scholars of the Mediterranean world, the Ottoman Empire and the Greeks alike, Molly Greene’s lucid and synthetic work presents an analysis of the current state of scholarship and analysis of three often-conflated topics in the Ottoman Empire: the Greeks; the Orthodox Christians; and the Greek Orthodox Church… The book is a valuable introductory text for undergraduate students as well as those in graduate programmes who want to understand where the controversies and lacunae persist. -- Amy Singer, Tel Aviv University * Mediterranean Historical Review *
