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 4
covers medieval Greece and the empire of Trebizond. Opening with an
overview of populations in Greece following the decline of Rome,
Finlay traces the aftermath of the 1204 sack of Constantinople by
the Fourth Crusade, up until the 1461 fall of the empire of
Trebizond in Anatolia.
