Hellenic Studies

This is a fully revised edition of Roger Beaton's introduction to the poetry and fiction published in Greek since national independence in 1821. It is the first full-length study to be devoted to the literature of this period, seen as a whole, and including developments up until the present day. The book highlights those writers and works which have enjoyed critical or popular acclaim, and emphasizes the relationships which link one work with another and with its historical context. No knowledge of Greek is assumed, and all quotations are given in both Greek and English.

This is the 9th edition, in Greek, of a standard overview of Modern Greek literature.

This is an English translation of an earlier edition of the immediately preceding book.

For intermediate and advanced students of Modern Greek and others interested in Modern Greek literature, but lacking the vocabulary to understand it; with notes and vocabulary lists.

This census aims at presenting, to English speakers, references to the works of Greek authors translated into English and to the critical essays written in English on modern Greek literature within the period 1824-1987. The literature included in the check-list ranges from approximately the eleventh century to the present day. The check-list is divided into seven chapters: Bibliographical Sources, Journals (regularly containing material in English from modern Greek literature), Special Issues of Journals (dedicated for a single time to modern Greek literature), Anthologies, Books of Collected Essays, Literary History (containing general histories of modern Greek literature, most of the literary material preceding the nineteenth century, and critical essays referring to more than a single author), and Authors (listing the authors of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries alphabetically by their last names).
