Inventing Ruritania by Vesna Goldsworthy
Since the 1800s, the Balkans has undergone a process of imaginative colonization by the West, whereby products developed in the West became better known than their real counterparts. This book argues that this imperalism has had insidious but little-recognized consequences.Vesna Goldsworthy is Professor in English Literature and Creative Writing at Kingston University and the author of several widely translated and award-winning volumes. Following Inventing Ruritania, she published a best-selling memoir, Chernobyl Strawberries in 2005, which was serialized in The
Times and read by Goldsworthy herself as Book of the Week on BBC Radio 4, and a Crashaw Prize winning poetry collection, The Angel of Salonika, one of The Times' Best Poetry Books of 2011.
