Ali Pasha of Ioannina (?17501822), the Ottomanappointed governor of the northern mainland of Greece, was a towering figure in Ottoman, Greek, and European history. Based on an array of literatures, paintings, and musical scores, this is the first Englishlanguage critical biography about him in recent decades. K. E. Fleming shows that the British and French diplomatic experience of Ali was at odds with the 'orientalist' literatures that he inspired. Dubbed by Byron the 'Muslim Bonaparte,' Ali enjoyed a position of diplomatic strength in the eastern Adriatic; in his attempt to secede from the Ottoman state, he cleverly took advantage of the diplomatic relations of Britain, Russia, France, and Venice. As he reached the peak of his powers, however, European accounts of him portrayed him in ever more 'orientalist' termsas irrational, despotic, cruel, and undependable.Fleming focuses on the tension between these two experiences of Alithe diplomatic and the cultural. She also places the history of modern Greece in the context of European history, as well as that of Ottoman decline, and demonstrates the ways in which contemporary European visions of Greece, particularly those generated by Romanticist philhellenism, contributed to a unique form of 'orientalism' in the south Balkans. Greece, a territory never formally colonized by Western Europe, was subject instead to a surrogate form of colonial controlone in which the country's history and culture, rather than its actual land, was annexed, invaded, and colonized.Originally published in 1999.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest printondemand technology to again make available previously outofprint books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
