Perhaps because of the fact that modern Greece is, through the
Orthodox Church, inextricably linked with the Byzantine heritage,
the precise meaning of this heritage, in its various aspects, has
hitherto been surprisingly little discussed by scholars. This
collection of specially commissioned essays aims to present an
overview of some of the different, and often conflicting,
tendencies manifested by modern Greek attitudes to Byzantium since
the late eighteenth-century Enlightenment. The aim is to show just
how formative views of Byzantium have been for modern Greek life
and letters: for historiography and imaginative literature, on the
one hand, and on the other, for language, law, and the definition
of a culture. All Greek has been translated, and the volume is
aimed at Byzantinists and Neohellenists alike.
