Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Serbian Macedonia, 1916: An Historical Survey When Professor P. Popovic asked me whether I would write a few lines by way of preface to this historical sketch of Macedonia my inclination was decidedly to beg that he would excuse me who do not pretend to be more than a keen student of the Balkan problem, since such an introduction night seem to carry with it some savour of pretension. Yet it is the student who is most conscious of his past difficulties and of what is generally lacking in the knowledge of his fellows. Professor Popovic´s pamphlet brings out two facts which are too often ignored in the history of Macedonia. The first is that there is no truth in the very commonly accepted idea that there was throughout the Middle Ages a continuous Bulgarian "Empire," and that Macedonia formed a constant part of the territorial content of this Empire. Though such an idea is not to be found, of course, in the writings of recognised English authorities it reappears constantly, explicitly or implicitly, in a good deal of writing for the Press and the Reviews. While it is true, as Professor Cvijic has pointed out in connection with this same problem, that these matters cannot be decided by sole reference to historical arguments and claims - as we might claim Calais, or the French Canada - yet, since so frequent an appeal is made to past history in Balkan affairs, it is well that that history should be correctly stated. Apart from matters of detail it will be found that the conclusions of this pamphlet are substantially supported by the writings of English historians of authority.
