Navire militaire affrété par l’Institut français d’Athènes en décembre 1945, le Mataroa a permis à plus d’une centaine de jeunes Grecs de quitter la Grèce et de rejoindre Tarente, en Italie, avec pour destination finale Paris. Quittant un pays en ruine, profondément affaibli par la guerre et au seuil de la guerre civile, ceux-ci ont ainsi pu être accueillis en France, y mener leurs études et carrière dans des domaines aussi variés que la philosophie, la sculpture, l’architecture, la musique, etc. Au cœur de cette expédition, le directeur de l’Institut français d’Athènes de l’époque, Octave Merlier, qui rendit possible cette opération, aux allures d’épopée moderne. Longtemps passé sous silence, ce voyage constitue sans conteste l’un des événements les plus marquants de l’histoire franco-grecque de l’après-guerre. S’appuyant sur un matériel d’archives inédit, ce volume vise à offrir un éclairage historique et critique à cet événement, tantôt oblitéré, tantôt mythifié, part intégrante de la mémoire des échanges entre les deux pays. The Mataroa, a military vessel chartered by the French Institute at Athens in December 1945, enabled more than a hundred young Greeks to leave Greece, reaching first Taranto, Italy, and finally arriving in Paris. Leaving a country that was in ruins, deeply weakened by war and on the verge of civil war, they were thus welcomed in France, to pursue their studies and careers in fields as varied as philosophy, sculpture, architecture, music, etc. At the heart of this expedition was the director of the French Institute at Athens at that time, Octave Merlier, who made this operation, which looks like a modern epic, possible. Long overlooked, this trip is undoubtedly one of the most significant events in post-war Franco-Greek history. Based on unpublished archival material, this volume aims to shed historical and critical light on this event, sometimes obliterated, sometimes mythologized, but an integral part of the memory of the exchanges…

The influence of the non-Biblical vernacular prophetic traditions in early modern England was considerable; they had both a mass appeal, and a specific relevance to the conduct of politics by elites. Focussing particularly on Mother Shipton, the Cheshire prophet Nixon, and Merlin, this book considers the origins of these prophetic traditions, their growth and means of transmission, and the way various groups in society responded to them and in turn tried to control them. Dr Thornton also sheds light on areas where popular culture and politics were uneasily interlinked: the powerful political influence of those outside elite groups; the variations in political culture across the country; and the considerable continuing power of mystical, supernatural, and 'non-rational' ideas in British social and political life into the nineteenth century. Dr TIM THORNTON teaches at the University of Huddersfield where he is head of department, History, English, Languages and Media.
