Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Visit to Greece and Constantinople, in the Year 1827-8 Tm; author of this volume sailed for Greece on the 12th of September, 1827, as agent for the distribution of a cargo of provisions and clothing among the suffering people of that country. Some time after his return he was tempted by a period of leisure, to prepare for the press a short account of the things which he saw and heard during his sojourn abroad, hoping that it might perhaps be read with some interest, at a moment of such universal anxiety and curiosity respecting that portion of the globe which he visited. [t was not, however, until the latter part of the sum mer of 1829, that he resolved to undertake the task; and since that time the completion of it has been unavoidably delayed by circumstances of a private nature. With a trembling hand, the author now lays the result of his labours before the public: he knows the stern tribunal before which he has to appear, and nei ther asks nor expects any indulgence. He would only state, in order to justify himself in anticipation against the charge of pre sumption, that he has not ventured upon the hazardous experi. Ment of publication, without taking the advice of those whose judgment he has reason to respect. If he has been deceived and misled by the partiality of friendship, let the work be consigned without mercy to the ames, and let all the people cry, amen!

Download or read book Who Saved the Parthenon written by William St Clair and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this magisterial book, William St Clair unfolds the history of the Parthenon throughout the modern era to the present day, with special emphasis on the period before, during, and after the Greek War of Independence of 1821–32. Focusing particularly on the question of who saved the Parthenon from destruction during this conflict, with the help of documents that shed a new light on this enduring question, he explores the contributions made by the Philhellenes, Ancient Athenians, Ottomans and the Great Powers. Marshalling a vast amount of primary evidence, much of it previously unexamined and published here for the first time, St Clair rigorously explores the multiple ways in which the Parthenon has served both as a cultural icon onto which meanings are projected and as a symbol of particular national, religious and racial identities, as well as how it illuminates larger questions about the uses of built heritage. This book has a companion volume with the classical Parthenon as its main focus, which offers new ways of recovering the monument and its meanings in ancient times. St Clair builds on the success of his classic text, The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period, to present this rich and authoritative account of the Parthenon’s presentation and reception throughout history. With weighty implications for the present life of the Parthenon, it is itself a monumental contribution to accounts of the Greek Revolution, to classical studies, and to intellectual history.

Excerpt: ... islands under the protection of the British government there are now estimated to be 7000. At Thebes and Livadia there were in each, twenty houses of Jews, at Janina three hundred, a few also at Larissa and perhaps in other cities of Albania and Thessaly. Some doubtless are still to be found in the north of Greece. The events of the revolution have tended greatly to increase the animosity subsisting between them and the Greeks. In return for the indignities committed on the person of their Patriarch, the latter have embraced every opportunity of taking vengeance. Still it is probable that when peace shall be restored and commerce shall revive, greater liberality will prevail, and the Jews again resort to Athens and Corinth and the regions of Achaia. Should this take place, they would then be most favorably situated for the success of missionary efforts. CHAPTER XXIV. JEWS OF EUROPEAN TURKEY. Thessalonica--Jewish Mahometans--Great excitement among the Constantinople Jews--Baptism of three hopeful converts-- Their imprisonment--Efforts for their release--Apostacy of one of their number--Domestic government of the Jews and other Rayahs--Jewish teacher--Condition of the Jews in Constantinople--Visit to Jewish villages--A betrothal--.Lengthened imprisonment of converts--Jewish Spanish language--Sundry individuals--A Jewish cemetery--Release of imprisoned converts. 1829.--Salonica, the Thessalonica of the New Testament, is an important city in the modern history of modern Judaism. For a particular account of the Jews in this place, we are indebted to Benjamin Barker, Esq., Agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society at Smyrna. After estimating their numbers at 25 or 30,000, he proceeds to remark. " The Jews here have one Chief Rabbi with a...
Download or read book The Classical Debt written by Johanna Hanink and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the International Monetary Fund’s first bailout of Greece’s sinking economy in 2010, the phrase “Greek debt” has meant one thing to the country’s creditors. But for millions who claim to prize culture over capital, it means something quite different: the symbolic debt that Western civilization owes to Greece for furnishing its principles of democracy, philosophy, mathematics, and fine art. Where did this other idea of Greek debt come from, Johanna Hanink asks, and why does it remain so compelling today? The Classical Debt investigates our abiding desire to view Greece through the lens of the ancient past. Though classical Athens was in reality a slave-owning imperial power, the city-state of Socrates and Pericles is still widely seen as a utopia of wisdom, justice, and beauty—an idealization that the ancient Athenians themselves assiduously cultivated. Greece’s allure as a travel destination dates back centuries, and Hanink examines many historical accounts that express disappointment with a Greek people who fail to live up to modern fantasies of the ancient past. More than any other movement, the spread of European philhellenism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries carved idealized conceptions of Greece in marble, reinforcing the Western habit of comparing the Greece that is with the Greece that once was. Today, as the European Union teeters and neighboring nations are convulsed by political unrest and civil war, Greece finds itself burdened by economic hardship and an unprecedented refugee crisis. Our idealized image of ancient Greece dangerously shapes how we view these contemporary European problems.
