    Napoleon and the Dardanelles

    Napoleon and the Dardanelles by Vernon J. Puryear offers a deeply researched account of Napoleonic policy in the Near East, highlighting the emperor’s efforts to manipulate Turkey, Persia, and Russia in order to control the critical Dardanelles Straits. Drawing extensively on original manuscripts from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other European archives, Puryear reconstructs the intricate web of diplomacy, deception, and failed alliances that marked France’s engagement with the Ottoman Empire and Persia between 1802 and 1815. The book demonstrates how Napoleon’s vacillating strategies—sometimes favoring Turkey, at other times Russia—ultimately undermined his continental system and contributed to the unraveling of his empire. Through careful narrative and documentary evidence, the study illuminates the global stakes of Napoleonic foreign policy, where trade, naval power, and imperial ambition intersected at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. By following French, Turkish, Persian, Russian, and British responses, Napoleon and the Dardanelles not only revises our understanding of Napoleon’s failures in the East but also situates them within broader currents of European diplomacy. The work remains a vital reference for historians of Napoleonic Europe, Ottoman diplomacy, and the geopolitics of the Straits, underscoring how missteps in the Near East reverberated across the entire Napoleonic project. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

This title was originally published in 1951.

  12. Islamic Art in the 19th Century

    Islamic Art in the 19th Century

    This collection of essays provides a timely reassessment of nineteenth-century Islamic art and architecture. The essays demonstrate that the arts of that era were vibrant and diverse, making ingenious use of native traditions and materials or adopting imported conventions and new technologies. However, traditionalists, revivalists and modernists all referred in one way or another to an Islamic heritage, whether to reinvent, revive or reject it. Beginning with an historical introduction and an assessment of changing attitudes towards the visual arts the following essays provide case studies of architecture and art in Ottoman Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, sub-Saharan Africa, Iran, Central Asia, India and the Caribbean. They examine such issues as patronage, sources of artistic inspiration and responses to European art. The essays have a relevance and importance for our understanding of the societies and attitudes of that time, and have a direct bearing on the more general debate concerning cultural identity and the integration of modern ideas in the Muslim world. The book is richly illustrated with very many illustrations in black-and-white and in full colour.
