Modern Greek Writing: An Anthology in English Translation

A dazzling and broad-based collection of Greek literature from Independence in 1821 to the present day.
 
Providing the first representative selection of the best Greek verse and prose from Greece’s independence in 1821 to the end of the 20th century, this compilation features more than 50 authors in a selection from previously published translations including such world-famous poets as Cavafy, Seferis, Ritsos, and Elytis, some of whom demonstrate Greece’s striking contribution in the areas of Surrealism and political verse.
