Robert Pashley (1805 59) spent 1833 4 exploring Greece and Turkey
as a Trinity College, Cambridge Travelling Fellow and contributor
to a British survey of the Mediterranean, yet it was the island of
Crete that most captivated his attention; his travels there became
the subject of this two-volume account, published in 1837. The
following year, Pashley's notes, collected artefacts and books were
destroyed in a fire, so this work is all that remains from his
expedition to the island. Crete at various points in its history
had been ruled by Romans, Byzantines, Venetians and Ottomans. At
the time of Pashley's arrival it was under Egyptian administration
and there were palpable tensions between Christians and Muslims. In
Volume 1, Pashley begins his journey in the western town of Chania,
and his lively narrative weaves contemporary observations about
Cretans with a discussion of the island's rich history.
