Anotace knihy

The role Western philhellenism played in the§production of modern Greek identity has been the§object of extensive research. Scholars focused on the§importance Hellenic culture acquired in European§discourses of modernity and the maintenance of§national and imperial self-images in the West. The§present book re-conceptualises the historical§emergence of such discursive frameworks as gatekeepers of hegemonic and counter-hegemonic§projects. The specific context it explores is that of§Anglo-Greek cultural exchange in the third quarter of§the nineteenth century (1864-1881). It is argued that§Greece s ambiguous attitude toward British demands§for Greek modernisation, and British frustration§originating in modern Greek irredentism and internal§disorder, define the frame of resistance. Constant§miscommunication between Greeks and§Britons made co-operation impossible and assisted in§the production of Greek counter-hegemony. The§specific path of Greek modernisation, state, and§nation-formation was developed in several key§political/discursive conflicts around: (i) Crime and§disorder, (ii) the rationalisation of historical§past, and (iii) the nationalist project of the Great§Idea .
