  • Lawrence Durrell's Bitter Lemons and Rodis Roufos
    1Journal Nicholas of Mediterranean Coureas Studies, 2016 ISSN: 1016-3476 Vol. 25, No. 2: 000–000 CYPRUS AND THE NOT-SO-SOFT POWER OF CULTURAL POLITICS: LAWRENCE DURRELL‘S BITTER LEMONS AND RODIS ROUFOS‘ THE AGE OF BRONZE ARGYRO NICOLAOU Harvard University This article builds on postcolonial readings of Lawrence Durrell‘s work and offers a comparative analysis of Bitter Lemons and the 1960 novel The Age of Bronze by Rodis Roufos, a Greek diplomat and journalist, who wrote it in direct response to Durrell‘s text. My main objective is to show that any critical analysis of Durrell‘s work on Cyprus should take into account both the literary and political criticism that the work incited among the non-British, non-Anglophone intellectual circles of the time as well as the specific cultural political power dynamics that have allowed Durrell‘s work to dominate as the uncontested, monologic authority on the subject of Cyprus‘ decolonization. By presenting an extensive, in-depth textual analysis of a suppressed section of Roufos‘ novel, first published by David Roessel in 1994, my paper aims to demonstrate that beyond the veneer of its overwhelmingly positive reception, Bitter Lemons was in fact the subject of cross-cultural, international debate that bears testament to the capacity of cultural objects to shape political realities. Interpreting both texts as examples of cultural politics, the article also illustrates the powerful legacy of colonization in current European political discourse. Durrell’s Legacy on Cyprus It is ironic, yet in many ways entirely unsurprising, that the most famous book on Cyprus is a British author‘s account of the turbulent years of the National Organization of Cypriot Fighters (EOKA) uprising against the British crown from 1955 to 1959 and the Greek Cypriots‘ demand for Enosis, or political union with Greece.

Lawrence Durrell and the Overgrown Typescript of Bitter Lemons David Roessel Abstract This article looks at previously unmined archival documents in order to explore the pre- and post-publication history of Lawrence Durrell’s Bitter Lemons, a travelogue written during the ‘emergency years’ of the EOKA campaign against British rule and for union with Greece. It examines the ways in which paratextual documents surrounding this publication history illuminate the awkward, sometimes contradictory, relationship between Durrell’s book and the last years of the British colonial government in Cyprus, a government for which Durrell worked as an employee in the Public Information Office. Pursewarden, the famous novelist that Durrell created as a character in the Alexandria Quartet, remarked, “We live...lives based on selected fictions” (Balthazar 138). As Durrell’s masterpiece unfolds, the reader is made keenly aware of how important Pursewarden’s observation is to the narrative. Balthazar, in the volume named after him, corrects Darley’s account in Justine by making a new, interlinear text with the comment: our view of reality is conditioned by our position in space and time—not by our personalities as we like to think.

  • Modern Diplomacy and Mountolive
    Modern Diplomacy and Mountolive Caroline Z. Krzakowski New York University The four novels in Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet engage the modern diplomat’s preoccupation with documents, the circula- tion of information, and the interpretation of that information. Mountolive, the third volume in the tetralogy, specifically represents the postwar “shrinking” of the British Empire as viewed from abroad. In many ways, Mountolive’s failure as a diplomat parallels the demise of empire. Moreover, Mountolive performs the exigen- cies of diplomacy by implicating the reader in the act of decoding. Just as diplomats use networks to record, interpret, and spread in- formation, characters encode or decode the information that mixes with false impressions and disinformation in the Alexandria Quartet. By re-casting the same characters in each volume of the Quartet and by revising information from the previous tome in subsequent volumes, Durrell’s multi-volume novel asks the reader to share in the diplomat’s perplexity and his postwar loss of agency. Historians have noted that the practice of diplomacy has, from its inception, been associated with texts and documents. This tex- tuality of the diplomat’s work is embedded in the etymology of the word itself. In his study Diplomacy, Harold Nicolson explains that the term is derived from the Greek verb ‘diploun’ meaning ‘to fold.’ In the days of the Roman Empire, all passports, passes along imperial roads and way-bills were stamped on double metal plates and folded and sewn together in a particular manner. These metal passes were called ‘diplomas.’ At a later date this word ‘diploma’ was extended to cover other and less metal- lic official documents conferring privileges or embodying ar- rangements with foreign communities and tribes.

I have tried to review merely what I thought were the pertinent points to my presentation regarding the fascinating. Bitter Lemons Lemons, and Bitter Lemons had to limit my purview accordingly. What is the significance of the appearance of these two characters at the beginning of his book? Caterina Cornaro reigned was the last queen of Cyprus. She was caught up in the political intrigues of the time while still a Bitter Lemons. She was very attractive and the inspiration of poets and troubadours, and painted by the great artists of the Renaissance. Rebellions, assassinations, and personal hardships, restrictions and intrigue marked the agitated years of her reign. Finally Venice persuaded her to abdicate inciting the vital commercial and political importance of Cyprus to the state, and the growing likelihood of a Turkish invasion, hard for a woman to handle. She left with an afflicted soul. In compensation she was allowed to retain her royal title, a state pension, and a small, elegant dominion at Asolo in the Alpine foothills of Venetian territory. There in that Bitter Lemons exile she had a small but brilliant court frequented by poets and philosophers, artists and musicians. Durrell depicts Caterina in the following gracious way:. In the only portrait Bitter Lemons have seen the eyes are grave and beautiful, full of impenitent life of their own; the eyes of a woman who has enjoyed much adulation, Bitter Lemons has travelled much and loved much.

  • Lawrence Durrell in Cyprus. a Philhellene Against Enosis
    EPOS. XIX (2003), págs. 229-243 LAWRENCE DURRELLIN CYPRUS: A PHILHELLENE AGAINST ENOSIS. JOSÉ RUIZ MAS Centro Asociado de la UNED de la Provincia de Jaén ABSTRACT In this article I endeavour to explain Lawrence Durrell's opposition to enosis (that is, the Greek Cypriots' dream to be politically united to Greece) whilst he resided and worked in colonial Cyprus as an English teacher, as the editor of the Cyprus Review and as the head of the British Public Information Office in the igland, despite his convinced philhellenism, acquired during his residence in Corfú in the 1930's. I analyse Durrell's travel book Bitter Lemons (1957), published only a year after he left Cyprus, his correspondence to his frienda and other minor works. Bitter Lemons is based on his three- year stay on the igland, a sojourn which coincided with the climax of the enosis crisis and the EOKA troubles. Even though Durrell insisted that Bitter Lemons «was not a política] book», I try to pro ve that in this work he not only expresses support for the cause of the Turkish-Cypriots in Cyprus, who aspired to obtain the partition of the island in two, but also for the British policy of encouraging communalism and the dehellenization of the island. Indeed, in Bitter Lemons, Greek-Cypriots are depicted by Durrell as non-Greeks, in spite of their overt pride in their Greekness. 1. INTRODUCTION: CYPRUS'S ASPIRATIONS TO ENOSIS Enosis or «political unión with Greece» was to the Greek-Cypriots a XXth-century versión of the XIXth-century romantic belief of the meghali idhea («great idea»), by which the downtrodden Greeks that were subjects of the Ottoman Empire dreamt to be made part of an independent and greater Helias that would coUect all of the Greeks 230 JOSÉ RUIZ MAS scattered around Europe.
