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 5
covers the history of Greece under Ottoman and Venetian rule from
1453 to 1821. Finlay gives an overview of the political and
military organisation of the Ottoman empire, touching also on the
social conditions of the Greeks. He argues that growing national
consciousness set the stage for Greek independence.
