This volume is published in honour of the acclaimed work of Robert
Holland, historian of the British Empire and the Mediterranean, and
it brings together essays based on the original research of his
colleagues, former students and friends. The focal theme is modern
Cyprus, on which much of Robert Holland's own history writing was
concentrated for many years. The essays analyse British rule in
Cyprus between 1878 and 1960, and especially the transition to
independence; the coverage, however, also incorporates the
post-colonial era and the construction of present-day dilemmas. The
Cypriot experience intertwines with Anglo-Hellenic relations
generally, so that a section of the book is devoted to those
aspects that have been central to Robert Holland's sustained
contribution. The essays explore, inter alia, historiography,
social history, economics, politics, ideology, education and the
2013 financial crisis. Taken as a collection the essays serve as an
appropriate tribute to Robert Holland as well as an innovative
addition to the existing historiography of colonial and
post-colonial Cyprus. They will be of great interest to anyone
interested in Imperial and Commonwealth History, Anglo-Hellenic
relations and the Eastern Mediterranean in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries.
