“….von Ranke was probably the most important historian to shape the historical profession as it emerged in Europe and the United States in the late 19th century…” —Caroline Hoefferle in The Essential Historiography Reader, 2010
The History of Servia and the Servian Revolution—With a Sketch of the Insurrection in Bosnia by German historian Leopold von Ranke was first published in German in 1829. To this English edition of 1853 is added The Slave Provinces of Turkey by the French author Cyprien Robert.
This work was based on eye-witness accounts of the Serbian uprising (present-day Serbia was known as Servia prior to 1915) of 1804 against the Ottomans and was one of the first modern works on this Balkan nation. In addition, the earlier chapters are dedicated to the early rich history of the Serbs from the ninth century on to the sixteenth-century Ottoman conquest and their subsequent rule.
