First published in 1962, A History of Bulgaria, based primarily on Bulgarian sources, sheds light on the lesser-known period of the Turkish yoke, with much of the material appearing in English for the first time. Topics include Turkish administration, Bulgaria’s economic development, the rise of modern education, the Bulgarian press, literature and arts, the Church’s struggle for independence from the Greek Patriarchate, and Bulgaria’s response to the Congress of Berlin and its return to political life after five centuries of near extinction.
Notably, the book explores the reawakening of Bulgarian national consciousness, the liberation movement, its leaders, ideologies, and the tragic April 1876 uprising, culminating in massacres condemned by Gladstone. This is an important historical reference work for scholars and students of Bulgarian history, European history and history in general.
