Closure of Modern Greek Dept at Kings College, London
It has been proposed to close the Modern Greek Dept at Kings College, London. This is a very retrograde step and saddens anyone who believes in the wider desemination of European culture in the UK. We need more universities studying Modern Greek and other European languages not less. Shared culture binds Europe together and we must prevail on the authorities at King's College to change their minds.

Informa Sponsors Dedalus
Dedalus is proud to announce that Informa plc through its subsidiary company Routledge Books, an imprint of Taylor & Francis, will sponsor Dedalus for the next two years as part of Informa plc’s corporate responsibility programme.
This sponsorship means that Dedalus will be able to honour the commitments it has undertaken to its authors, translators, cultural institutions and other publishers. We will continue to encourage and support new writing, with special emphasis on the dialogue between cultures brought about by literature in translation
Dedalus’s readers can now look forward to translated fiction from Danish, Estonian, Flemish, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish in the next two years as well as more original English language fiction. Dedalus has just bought Made in Yaroslavl, a brilliant first novel by Jeremy Weingard, who lives in the East of England.
'Apart from financial support we hope to benefit from the technical expertise and advice of a large and successful publisher which should be of great benefit to Dedalus. We look forward to working with Routledge Books and making the most of the opportunities this sponsorship programme will provide for Dedalus.'
Eric Lane, M.D of Dedalus Publishers
