This new book by PETER PRINEAS tells the story of five decades in the early nineteenth century when the British ruled Kythera and the Ionian Islands. Based on extensive research in the archives and illustrated with maps, photographs and historic prints, 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS: Kythera and the Ionian Islands 1809-1864', reveals the sometimes turbulent relations in the Protectorate named the 'United States of the Ionian Islands'. 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS' is a narrative history painstakingly assembled from many hundreds of hand-written letters and documents of the early nineteenth century, few of them previously published. The very readable text conveys the texture and detail of life, society and politics on the island of Cerigo (Kythera) in a manner not previously seen, and illuminates important but largely forgotten events. The story of 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS' is placed in the wider history of Europe and the Near East, from the Napoleonic Wars, though the Greek War of Independence, the Crimean War, and struggles over the 'Eastern Question' that resonate to this day. 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS' will be launched by Assoc. Professor VRASIDAS KARALIS of the Department of Modern Greek at the University of Sydney. WHEN: Wednesday 14th October 2009 at 7.00 p.m. WHERE: The Nicholson Museum, University of Sydney.
