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).

Wills, David
David Wills, called “an impeccably post-colonial investigator” by the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, is an executive committee member of the Society for Modern Greek Studies.

Praise for David Wills’ 2007 book The Mirror of Antiquity: 20th Century British Travellers in Greece: “a welcome contribution, not only to the research on travel literature about the region, but also to the broader issue of the role of Greece in British culture. Wills’ method is scholarly, his research meticulous and the material collected fascinating.”
