| Sumario: | "Athens: Its Rise and Fall, originally published in 1837, was the first radical history of Greece in the spirit of Lord Byron. It ranks with Thomas Babington Macaulay's History of England and the works of Thomas Carlyle as one of the greatest intellectual achievements of the Romantic Age, and anticipates the thinking of George Grote and John Stuart Mill on Greek history by more than a decade." "To celebrate the bicentenary of Bulwer Lytton's birth, Routledge is reissuing this influential work. This new edition publishes, for the first time, the text of a previously forgotten third volume, recently discovered by Oxford academic Oswyn Murray."--Jacket. |
