This is a close study of the history of the public image of the
Balkans in Britain from 1900-1945. Ever since the end of the Cold
War the Balkans have preoccupied European public opinion much more
than any other region of the old Eastern bloc. To a large extent
this is a result of the wars following the break-up of Yugoslavia.
The conflicts of the 1990s raised a series of questions about the
nature of Balkan history as compared to an assumed European norm.
Even more, they triggered prolonged discussions on the form and
timing of foreign engagement in the region, both during the war,
and ahead of the eastward expansion of the European Union. These
public debates underlay the emergence of a related academic
interest in intercultural contacts between the Balkans and the rest
of Europe over the last three centuries. This book is a close study
of the history of the Balkan images in Britain in the first half of
the 20th century, and of the channels through which these were
built. It proposes new interpretative models for broader research
in the formation of public images of foreign lands.
