Excerpt from Scenes in the Thirty Days War Between Greece Turkey, 1897 It is very hard to say when the English people is really moved. There are so many who are ready to be moved at anything, that for any cause, no matter how foolish, a crowd can always be gathered. But there are as many more who can be moved by nothing, so that every cause, no matter how noble, is sure of a stolid body of opposition, which boasts of its common sense and freedom from hysterical excitement. One party is called quixotic, and the other respectable; and both terms are generally used in derision, because one side is judged by its most foolish members, and the other by its most ignoble. The people being thus divided among themselves, it is usually impossible to speak of popular emotion without such qualifications as make it seem half-hearted.

In this magisterial book, William St Clair unfolds the history of the Parthenon throughout the modern era to the present day, with special emphasis on the period before, during, and after the Greek War of Independence of 1821–32. Focusing particularly on the question of who saved the Parthenon from destruction during this conflict, with the help of documents that shed a new light on this enduring question, he explores the contributions made by the Philhellenes, Ancient Athenians, Ottomans and the Great Powers. Marshalling a vast amount of primary evidence, much of it previously unexamined and published here for the first time, St Clair rigorously explores the multiple ways in which the Parthenon has served both as a cultural icon onto which meanings are projected and as a symbol of particular national, religious and racial identities, as well as how it illuminates larger questions about the uses of built heritage. This book has a companion volume with the classical Parthenon as its main focus, which offers new ways of recovering the monument and its meanings in ancient times. St Clair builds on the success of his classic text, The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period, to present this rich and authoritative account of the Parthenon’s presentation and reception throughout history. With weighty implications for the present life of the Parthenon, it is itself a monumental contribution to accounts of the Greek Revolution, to classical studies, and to intellectual history.
