Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyprus Under British Rule Not many years ago a newly appointed High Commissioner of Cyprus was received by the Secretary of State for the Colonies before leaving England to take up his duties. "There are in Cyprus I believe," said the Secretary of State, "a number of interesting and valuable antiquities. I trust that you will see that they are adequately preserved and cared for. I wish you a successful tour of office. Good-bye." It is in the hope that the interest in Cyprus taken by the general public may be somewhat less limited than that displayed by the responsible minister in the incident just recorded that I have written this book. My self-imposed task has been to describe only the somewhat dull and unromantic details of administration, and readers who desire to learn something of the interesting and valuable antiquities, or of the scenery of this beautiful island or the manners and customs of its inhabitants, must look elsewhere. For information about the antiquities, the delightful pages of Cesnola's monumental work should be consulted, and some idea of the romantic charm of the island and its beautiful scenery may be gleaned from Mr. Mallock's well-known book, An Enchanted Island. A veritable mine of information is contained in Messrs. Lukach and Jardine's Handbook of Cyprus, which discourses charmingly on all subjects, from the ancient history, geological formation, and ornithology of the island to the price of eggs, hotel charges, and the prevalence of fleas. In addition to such sources of information, a report is issued annually and presented to both Houses of Parliament, containing much useful information regarding the finance, trade, and general progress of the island. I know of no publication however which gives a connected account of British administration in Cyprus, or describes the conditions under which we have occupied it since 1878 and continue to hold it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Cyprus A monk, with grisly beard, black skirt, and rimless hat, is crouching by a ruined arch; his left hand clinging to the edge of a sarcophagus; while his eyes are straining out, along a corridor and across a court-yard, towards the figure of a man in red, who, armed with sword and spur, helmet and riding whip, advances with a rapid step.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyprus Under the Turks, 1571-1878: A Record Based on the Archives of the English Consulate in Cyprus Under the Levant Company and After Thus it is that the records of Turkish rule in Cyprus are few. Its solitary chronicler, the Archimandrite Kyprianos, published his history of his native island in 1788 for the ninety years yet to elapse before the British occupation we have nothing in print beyond the descriptions of occasional travellers, and sundry references in histories of Greece to the rising of 1821. There exist, however, in the island certain archives of the British Consulate in Cyprus, beginning in 1710, and continuing, intermittently, until the abolition of the Consulate, consequent upon the British occupation, in 1878. These archives, examined here for the first time, enable us to fill, partially at all events, a gap in the history of Cyprus, which the island's distinguished past and promising future should no longer suffer to remain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Cyprus In the preparation of the last section, the Editors, with due sanction, borrowed very largely from the Report for 1901-1902 of the High Commissioner, Sir W. Haynes Smith. Their best thanks are due to His Excellency for allowing them to set before their readers so vivid and authoritative a sketch of the progress made during the twenty-five years of British rule. Note To Fourth Issue No pains have been spared in the revision of the Handbook for the fourth issue (1905). The wants and wishes of tourists have been specially consulted. Many sections have been again enlarged, and in point of bulk the volume has probably reached its limit. The Editors can only hope to enhance the value of future issues by severer accuracy. They would wish it noted that the Handbook is in no sense an official publication. Note To Fifth Issue Every care has been taken to maintain and raise in the fifth issue (1907) of the Handbook the standard of completeness and accuracy which the Editors proposed to themselves in the first. The arrangement has been improved: the section on Mythology is new. Mr. C. V. Bellamy, Director of Public Works, Lagos, has kindly recast that on Geology, and Mr. H. S. Thompson that on the Flora. Additions have been made wherever the interest of the subject demanded them. For the last time the talents and industry of Sir J. T. Hutchinson, to which a wider field is now offered in Ceylon, have been at the service of the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Cyprus under British Colonial Rule written by Christos P. Ioannides and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique book that combines a political narrative with poetry to examine the role of culture and the fusion of religion and politics during the struggle against colonialism. The context is Britain’s geopolitical interests in the Middle East. The author utilizes a vital cultural source echoing the authentic voice of the people, Cypriot folk poems, which has remained virtually unknown to the English reader until now. Translated into English, they are interwoven into the book’s narrative to reflect the yearning for social justice and the political sentiments of the vast majority of the population, the peasants, in a rural society. Lawrence Durrell’s literary masterpiece, Bitter Lemons, his politico-cultural chronicle on British-ruled Cyprus, is also discussed critically. The Greek Orthodox Church led the anti-colonial movement revolving around union with Greece. Through his intimate knowledge of Greek Orthodox practices, the author elucidates how religious customs and rituals were intertwined with the nationalist ideology to lead to political mobilization. In the process, culture, with its religious underpinnings, shaped politics. This dynamic has been the case from the Middle East, Turkey and North Africa, to Eurasia and South East Asia. Prime examples are the Iranian revolution and the more recent Arab Spring, both of which caught the West by surprise. In Cyprus, the British, with their sense of superiority, remained alien to the local culture and discounted popular sentiment. The two rebellions that ensued caught Britain totally by surprise. This is a valuable case study on the convergence of religion and politics. Academics, students and non-specialists will find a captivating narrative on Britain’s colonial encounter in an idyllic but strategic island in the Eastern Mediterranean.
