| Abstract | "An original, innovative and timely study on the cultural history of Cyprus under British rule, offering a new interpretative framework for studying the colonial past of Cyprus. This book focuses on the cultural dimension of the island's colonial experience and demonstrates the crucial, but understudied, significance of culture in Cyprus. Chapters present a comprehensive survey of culture in colonial Cyprus, covering such aspects as photography, architecture, literature, art and collecting, cultural policy, advertisement, fashion, antiquities and archaeology, public gardens, environmental commons, and sports clubs. Contributors draw on previously unpublished source material in Greek and English"-- Provided by publisher. |
