Unique Approaches
Never published before
While he reported for The Manchester Guardian and wrote scholarly articles about Illyria, With Albanian League brings together some of his writing that focuses on Albania and its people. Rather than presenting a straightforward historical narrative, the selections made from his writings focus on the role of Albanian nationalism and struggle for protecting their territory.
This is a different approach to culture and history, from the traditional one of politics and policy shapers, and gives insights into the emergence of an awareness of nationality, out of a complex web of geographical, tribal, cultural and religious trends and beliefs. It depicts the process of this shaping, from population migrations and cultural traditions, to powerful external influences, such as the Ottoman Empire.
