The Balkans were a dangerous place in the early twentieth century. The Ottoman Empire was on the verge of collapse, losing control of areas like Albania where the people were calling for political rights. Disease, the threat of violence and war were looming over the people who lived in primitive conditions. Yet, it was into this world that Mary Edith Durham, a thirty-seven-year-old Edwardian lady dressed in boots, long skirt, umbrella, and straw hat, entered. She would go on to spend the next twenty years of her life travelling through the Balkans, focusing particularly on Albania and Kosovo, some of the most underdeveloped regions of Europe. High Alabania is Durham's most famous work and confirmed her position as the pre-eminent expert on the customs and society of the Balkans. Through this work Durham explains the history of the region, geography, and cultural interactions including their almost medieval blood honor system, which led feuds between families to persist for generations. Durham was a staunch supporter of the Albanian people and is still revered in the country, for example the fourth President Alfred Moisiu described her as "one of the most distinguished personalities of the Albanian world during the last century". Her work provides fascinating insight in this colorful region with its troubled past. "a tremendous sense of honor, justice, and humor. Her verve and funniness make her irresistible."The New York Review of Books "her perceptions remain so pertinent that we know a correspondent who operated there [in 1999] with an old edition of this book in lieu of a Nato briefing." The Guardian Mary Edith Durham was a British traveller and author who wrote a number of anthropological accounts of the Balkans in the early twentieth century. High Albania was published in 1909 and Durham passed away in 1944.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The history of Albania, a landlocked country in the Balkans, is a complicated tale of extreme interest. The claims of Greek, Bulgarian, and Serb in the Balkan peninsula are well known, but it has been the fashion always to ignore the rights and claims of the oldest inhabitant of the land, the Albanian. #2 The ancestors of the modern Servians poured into the peninsula in the first century AD. They overpowered the inhabitants, and reached the Dalmatian coast, burning the Roman town of Salona. The Serb influence grew stronger and stronger. #3 The Albanians were the last to fall under Turkish rule. They were led by their great hero Skenderbeg, who offered a magnificent resistance. But they had not outgrown the tribal system, and on his death, they broke up under rival chiefs. #4 The Albanians were a threat to the power of the Turks in Europe, but their attempts were doomed to failure because of the lack of unity caused by the tribal system. Before they were ready to stand alone, the tide of Turkish affairs turned and Russia began to fight for the Serbs.

Whilst young ladies in the Victorian and Edwardian eras were expected to have many creative accomplishments, they were not expected to travel unaccompanied, and certainly not to the remote corners of Southeast Europe, then part of the crumbling Ottoman Empire. But Edith Durham was no ordinary lady. In 1900, at the age of 37, Durham set sail for the Balkans for the first time. Her trip was intended as a means of recovering from a period of ill-health, and as a break from the stifling monotony of caring for her ailing mother. Her experiences on this trip were to change the course of her life, kindling a profound love for the region which saw her return frequently in the following decades. She became a confidante of the King of Montenegro, ran a hospital in Macedonia and, following the outbreak of the First Balkan War in 1912, became one of the world's first female war correspondents. Back in England, she was renowned as an expert on the region, writing the highly successful book High Albania and, along with other aficionados such as the MP Aubrey Herbert, becoming an advocate for the people of the Balkans in British political life and society. King Zog of Albania once said that before Durham visited the Balkans, Albania was but a geographical expression. By the time she left, he added, her championship of his compatriots' desire for freedom had helped add a new state to the map. Durham was tremendously popular in the region itself, earning her the affectionate title 'Queen of the Mountains' and an enduring legacy which continues unabated until this day. Yet she has been all but forgotten in the country of her birth. Marcus Tanner here tells the fascinating story of Durham's relationship with the Balkans, painting a vivid portrait of a remarkable, and sometimes formidable, woman, who was several decades ahead of her time.
