More chances to visit ‘Passion and Politics: Sissinghurst and Greece’ at Sissinghurst Castle Garden (National Trust)! This special exhibition co-sponsored by the Centre for Hellenic Studies has been extended until 28 June 2026.

Pictured: Dr Rebecca Levitan whose research supported the exhibition.

Book cover. Black background with 'Europe - a New History' in white type with the author's name at the top. In the centre is a lithographic image in gold, white and blue side profile of a female figure wearing white classical-style dress and gold helmet decorated with acanthus flower, and holding a spear in one hand. In the other she holds a blue orb on top of which stands a winged gold female figure facing the viewer.

We celebrated Prof. Sir Roderick Beaton‘s new book: 'Europe' with a launch by the Centre for Hellenic Studies at Bush House, with Prof. Georgios Varouxakis of QMUL guiding the discussion.

'Europe' presents a history of an idea and a collective identity stretching from Ancient Greece to today.
