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 3
gives a history of the Byzantine empire from 1057 until the fall of
Constantinople in 1453. Finlay argues that despite the regaining of
lost territories under the Komnenian dynasty, a lack of
administrative reform led ultimately to the decay and dissolution
of the Byzantine empire.
