Synopsis

This workshop focuses on examining the reception of the Philhellenic movement, which developed throughout much of the 19th century not only in Europe but also in America, through the Greek press. The existence of the Greek Press even before the establishment of an independent Greek state underscores its significance and role in the initiation and progress of the Revolution. In the post-revolutionary years, the notable "expansion" of the press is a remarkable phenomenon directly linked to political and social developments. The workshop aims to delve deeper into the study of this highly significant Philhellenic movement through the press and literature, highlighting lesser-known aspects as revealed in newspaper pages and literary works of the time.
