Book Description

This book contains ten seminar sessions (ΙΝR, 1994/5) and one lecture (Society for the Study of Modern Hellenism, 1994) organized in three parts: 1) “Methodological memoranda”, 2) “Men of violence and the watermark of the economy”, 3) “Economic life in the Memoirs of 1821”. From the author’s introduction: “It is perhaps not superfluous to mention that the writings dating to 1821 could not by their own nature but refer to the economy in diverse ways or out of diverse motives, although these references did not construe a rule for the whole of the Memoirs. […] I wished to highlight the extent that the economy penetrated the narratives found in the testimonies of those persons who contributed to the Greek war of independence in 1821”.
