Other Available Formats
Overview
A participant in the Greek struggle for independence alongside Lord Byron, the philhellene George Finlay (1799 1875) lent his support to the newly liberated nation while diligently studying its past. The monographs he published in his lifetime covered the history of Greece since the Roman conquest, spanning two millennia. His two-volume History of the Greek Revolution (1861) is reissued separately in this series. Edited by the scholar Henry Fanshawe Tozer (1829 1916) and published in 1877, this seven-volume collection brought together Finlay's histories, incorporating significant revisions. Notably, Finlay gives due consideration to social and economic factors as well as high politics. Volume 1 spans the years 146 BCE to 716 CE. It covers the conquest of Greece by the Romans, and the establishment of the eastern empire. Charting the internal struggles of early Byzantium, Finlay takes the history up to the accession of Leo III."
