| Publisher Description: This antiquarian volume contains Stanley Lane-Poole's 1878 treatise, "The People of Turkey". Based on the author's thirty years spent living in Turkey with Bulgarians, Greeks, Albanians, Turks, and Armenians, this extensive and profoundly insightful monograph contains a wealth of information that will appeal to those with an interest in late nineteenth century Turkey. Contents include: "The Races of Turkey", "The Bulgarians", "The Greeks of Turkey", "The Albanians", "The Turks", "The Armenians and Jews in Turkey", "The Circassians, Tatars, and Gipsies of Turkey", "Lands and Dwellings", "Peasant Holdings", "Turkish Houses", "The Seraglio", and "Municipality, Police, and Brigandage". Stanley Edward Lane-Poole (1854 - 1931) was a British archaeologist and orientalist. Many vintage texts such as this, especially those dating back to the 1900s and before, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. |
