A quest for self-discovery and personal redemption by one of the most gifted European writers.
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 contains chapters from leading academics, journalists, novelists, and public servants and covers subjects including literature by Greek writers in English translation; the work of the British Council and international aid agencies; and television series set in Greece. The second edition has been substantially updated to reflect the financial, economic and social effects of the recent “Greek Crisis”. Four specially-commissioned new chapters discuss how Greece has been portrayed in the British media and the responses of cultural organisations to the present needs of the Greek people.

"Legible Heavens explores what the most intimate forms of experience reveal about our most cosmic concerns, and vice versa. Its four sequences act like compass points to orient a human landscape. On one axis, "Star Chart for the Rainy Season" laments love lost, appealing to the biblical assertion that "love is stronger than death, and passion more cruel," in contrast to "Material Implication," which celebrates love found, in sonnets of desire insistently "glowing against the dusk." On the other axis, "All the One-Eyed Boys in Town" treats love as perdition, the speaker imagining his life as "a match scratched down your wingbones," in contrast to "Synopsis," which treats love as salvation, reinscribing the biblical gospels (canonical and apocryphal alike) to "solicit a miracle I must not expect.""--BOOK JACKET.
