The book examines the emergence of Greece as a modern nation following its revolution against the Ottoman Empire in 1821 and subsequent recognition of independence in 1830. It gathers insights from various scholars to analyze how 19th-century European ideas shaped Greek nationalism, romanticism, and the integration of Classical and Byzantine heritage into a cohesive national identity. This exploration highlights the complex interplay between historical influences and the formation of a distinctly modern Greek identity.
