Autorenporträt

Edwin Pears (1835-1919) was an eminent British barrister, historian, and journalist who spent much of his career in Istanbul during the waning days of the Ottoman Empire. He developed a lasting fascination with the region's rich history, which translated into his scholarly pursuits. His work is often characterized by meticulous research and evocative prose, marrying legal precision with historical narrative. Pears' most renowned book, 'The Destruction of the Greek Empire and the Story of the Capture of Constantinople by the Turks' (1903), offers a detailed account of the events leading up to and following the fall of Constantinople in 1453. This book remains a seminal work in Byzantine studies, providing a narrative that is both scholarly and accessible to a broader audience. His literary style often reflects the judicial keenness of a lawyer, presenting facts with clarity while also crafting a compelling historical tale. The book's enduring relevance in Byzantine and Ottoman studies is a testament to Pears' ability to fuse his legal expertise with his passion for history, creating a work that has withstood the scrutiny of time and academia.
