Chapter 21: Prelude to Revolution (pp. 235–45)

 

For the situation in Greece in the years before the revolution see H. Angelomatis-Tsougarakis,
The Eve of the Greek Revival
; and R. Clogg,
The Movement for Greek Independence.
The expulsion of the klephts in 1806 is covered in John Alexander,
Brigandage and Public Order in the Morea
, and the Philikí Etería in the contributions
by George Frangos to R. Clogg,
The Struggle for Greek Independence
, and to
IEE
, vol. XI, pp. 424–32

Chapter 22: 1821 – The War of Independence (pp. 246–55)

 

For an account of the war may I suggest my own book
The Flame of Freedom
(in the USA
The Greek War of Independence
), and its bibliography for other studies. In English the classic histories of the period by participants are by the acerbic George Finlay and by the more balanced Thomas Gordon, both works entitled
History of the Greek Revolution
. Also in English are the lively and perceptive firsthand accounts by Samuel Howe in
An Historical Sketch of the Greek Revolution
and in his
Letters and Journals.
For diplomacy see Webster,
The Foreign Policy of Castlereagh;
and Temperley,
The Foreign Policy of Canning.

References to Kasomoúlis are to his two-volume
Enthimímata Stratiotiká
(Military Reminiscences), written in somewhat idiosyncratic Greek helpfully amended and annotated by Iánnis Vlachoyánnis. Karaïskákis’ trial is covered in detail, with a strong pro-Karaïskákis slant, in Ilías Papasteriópoulos,
I Dhíki tou Karaïskáki
(The Trial of Karaïskákis) referred to below as
Dhíki

For Seferis see the excellent biography by Roderick Beaton,
George Seferis
. The Anglicised form of his name was used by Seferis himself and is adopted here. Other quotations of Seferis are from the periodical
Agenda
of winter 1969 and Philip Sherrard,
The Wound of Greece.
