ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Alfred Zimmern’s The Greek Commonwealth (1911), one of the most influential works on fifth-century BC Athens published in the twentieth century, was largely written at the British School at Athens in 1909–10, immediately after Zimmern had abandoned his academic career as a tutor in Ancient History in Oxford. Drawing extensively on archival sources, this paper examines Zimmern’s responses to the intellectual climate of the British School and to the political climate of modern Greece, explores the impact of his experiences in Athens on his book, and points to connections with the ideas on nationality and empire that he later developed as a leading commentator on International Relations in the interwar years.
