Although remembered today chiefly for his archaeological
discoveries in Crete, Sir Arthur John Evans (1851-1941) became
Britain's leading expert on Balkan affairs after publishing his
account of travelling through Bosnia in 1875 (also reissued in this
series). In 1877 he returned to the region as a correspondent for
the Manchester Guardian, reporting on the continuing insurrection
against Ottoman rule. Evans is at pains to point out that he does
not regard himself as a war correspondent, but wishes to introduce
'in a tolerably peaceful fashion the insurgents and their little
mountain territory to the English public'. Published in 1878, these
letters offer historical, social and religious background to the
insurrection. In so doing, they provide a valuable insight into the
genesis of more recent conflicts in a region that has always been a
melting pot of peoples and cultures.
