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 organizations. '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).
