SUMMARY:Book presentation: Victorians and Modern Greece: Literary and Cultural Encounters
DESCRIPTION:Philippos Margaritis\, A Greek Lady\, c.1855\, Th. Theodorou Collection \n\nBook presentation\nVictorians and Modern Greece: Literary and Cultural Encounters\nThe event will feature three talks presenting the book Victorians and Modern Greece: Literary and Cultural Encounters recently published by Routledge in the British School at Athens—Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies Series. The volume examines the representation and interpretation of nineteenth century Greece in Victorian magazines\, popular fiction\, poetry\, and travel writing\, revealing the cultural affiliations between Britain and Modern Greece in this period. It reflects on the tensions\, ancient/modern\, oriental/European\, primitive/developed\, that emerge from Victorian texts on Modern Greece\, texts that become a means by which national identity and culture\, both British and Greek\, were constantly reconceptualised through their encounter with the other. The volume tells the story of Modern Greece against the backdrop of key historical events\, in a time when Greece was struggling to achieve self-definition among conflicting geopolitical interests. \nThis book presentation will be preceded by the symposium Celebrating 200 Years of Mary Shelley’s The Last Man (in-person only). Please register for each event. \nAnna Despotopoulou is Professor in English Literature and Culture in the Department of English Language and Literature\, University of Athens\, where she teaches 19th\, 20th\, and 21st- century fiction.
