Title

1821: The migration of revolutionary ideas (part 2)

Date

22 February 2021

Abstract

A panel discussion chaired by Roderick Beaton, emeritus Koraes Professor of Modern Greek and Byzantine History, Language and Literature, King’s College London, co-hosted with the Hellenic Society. Ideas about making a revolution – ideas that are in themselves revolutionary: these two back-to-back panel discussions, one in Athens, the other in London, will revolve around both concepts, as ways of understanding the outbreak of revolution by Orthodox Christian, Greek-speaking subjects of the Ottoman empire in the spring of 1821, that would lead to the creation of Greece as a modern nation-state in 1830. Speakers will focus on the transmission, or “migration”, of such ideas across the European continent in the wake of 1789 Revolution in France and their impact in creating the climate in which a Greek revolution became possible in 1821.
