Abstract

Patrick Jager : The Eastern limits of Europe. Fixing the Eastern frontier of Europe is a complex problem that changed over the 18th Century ; it is connected with the value-laden distinction opposing enlightened to barbarian. For travellers, Russia was part of Europe while the Greek Archipelago tended to be outside it. But between these two worlds was a frontier zone which was not a line but an area, a sort of no man's land which finally seems to take on its own cultural identity, being neither European nor Oriental. This zone includes the Archipelago, the Phanariot principalities and part of Russia, but its extent varies.
