Description - Byzantium and the Modern Greek Identity by David Ricks

This collection of commissioned essays aims to present an overview of some of the different tendencies manifested by modern Greek attitudes to Byzantium since the late 18th-century Enlightenment. The aim of the book is to show just how formative views of Byzantium have been for modern Greek life and letters: for historiography and imaginative literature and language, law, and the definition of a culture. All Greek has been translated, and the volume is aimed at Byzantinists and Neohellenists alike.
