British Cyprus (1879) is a historical book written by William Hepworth Dixon that explores the British colonial rule in Cyprus during the late 19th century. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history, culture, and politics of Cyprus, and how the island became a British protectorate in 1878. Dixon examines the impact of British rule on the island’s economy, society, and governance, and the challenges faced by the British administrators in managing a diverse and complex population. The book also delves into the cultural and religious traditions of Cyprus, including the influence of the Greek Orthodox Church and the Muslim community. Dixon’s writing style is engaging and informative, and he draws on a wide range of sources to provide a detailed and nuanced picture of life in British Cyprus. Overall, British Cyprus (1879) is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Cyprus and the impact of British colonialism on the island.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
