Abstract

"This paper examines the attempts by philhellenes (mainly Claude-Dénis Raffenel) to write the history of the Greek War of Independence, as well as other historical texts written in French, English and German by philhellenes during the struggle (Edward Blaquiere, Maxime Raybaud, William Martin Leake, Ernst Münch, Armand Carrel, Georg Wilhelm von Lüdemann, Julius Curtius, James Emerson Tennent etc), their typology and their sources. These texts offer a depiction of the views of foreigners in relation to Greek history (ancient, Byzantine and modern), the Greek War of Independence, in which some of them participated, and their attitude towards it. On the other hand, they fill the gap of a complete and more scientific historiography of the Greek War of Independence until the appearance of the history of Thomas Gordon (1832) and George Finlay (1861), which were also translated into Greek."
