Historians have long speculated on the role played by the
Enlightenment in the rise of nationalism in
Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The present
volume offers a new perspective on this
subject through an examination of the Greek
Enlightenment, its aspirations, and its
relationship to the larger European Republic
of Letters. Scholars of seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century Europe will gain access in
these pages to rare and in some cases never
before translated works from the time period;
works that offer fresh and far-reaching
insights into the nature, origin and
development of nationalist movements.
