GREECE AND BRITAIN SINCE 1945

In 1945 the modern country and people of Greece
were unknown to many Britons. This book explores
the transformation and varying fortunes of Anglo-
Greek relations since that time. The focus is on the
perceptions and attitudes shown by British and
Greek writers, audiences, and organisations.

Greece and Britain Since 1945 has contributions

from leading academics, journalists, novelists, and
public servants. Subjects covered include: literature
by Greek writers in English translation; the work of
the British Council and international aid agencies;
and television series set in Greece.

Contributing authors include: Peter Mackridge

(Emeritus Professor of Modern Greek, University of
Oxford), David Connolly (Professor of Translation
Studies, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), and
Alexandra Moschovi (University of Sunderland).
