Although best known as an eminent classical archaeologist, Sir
Arthur Evans was also passionately interested in the history of
Albania. An authority on ancient Illyria, his sophisticated sense
of the region's ancient roots infused his understanding of the
complex culture and politics of the Balkans in the 19th century and
combined to make him an authoritative and entertaining guide to
this important subject.
In Albanian Letters, Evans not only explores the implications of
the key political events of this period (for example, the formation
of the Albanian League in 1878) but also paints a vivid picture of
the country's complex social and cultural make-up. In the late 19th
century, the questions of nationalism and national identity were a
major preoccupation for Albanians. Albanian Letters looks at how
Albanians' views of their homeland were affected by developments
taking place at the time, including increasing awareness of ethnic
differences, population migration and changes to its distinctive
culture and tradition.
Albanian Letters offers a vivid snapshot of a nation at a critical
period in its development.
