The Greeks and their Heritage

In 1922, a particularly tragic year in the history of modern Greece, Arnold Toynbee published The Western Question in Greece and Turkey. This was for its time a provocative book whose immediate result was the author's dismissal, amidst a storm of protest from fellow academics, from the Koraes Chair of Byzantine and Modern Greek at King's College, London. Half a century tater Toynbee returned to the same theme in an attempt to place it within a broader context. The Greeks and their Heritages is the last book he completed before his death.
