Abstract
Professor Seton-Watson examines public agitation in England over Turkish massacres known as the Bulgarian atrocities and shows how diplomacy and party politics interacted, altering Britain's traditional policy toward Turkish Empire. He discusses Conference of Powers in 1876, purposes of Russian-Turkish war, and results of Treaty of San Stefano. He gives an illuminating account of territorial settlements made at Congress of Berlin and their effect on shape of Europe, and offers evidence that from perspective of later events triumph belonged not to Disraeli, but to Gladstone. R. W. Seton-Watson has long been recognized as one of foremost authorities in field of Eastern European history, and Disraeli, Gladstone and Eastern Question is definitive study of subject. Drawing on previously unpublished Russian diplomatic correspondence, contemporary accounts, and British diplomatic papers, he has examined course of events from all sides, frequently allowing protagonists' own words to reveal their motives and bring out drama of narrative.
