Buch
Soft cover. Zustand: New. Stitched binding with paper cover. Reprint of 1940 Cambridge edition, 205 x 132 mm, 225 pages. Dionoysius Solomos may be called the father of modern Greek poetry in that it was he who in the opening decades of the 19th century rebaptized Greek poetry in the ancestral springs of inspiration and language and gave it an orientation that has been followed by such major poets as Palamas, Sikelianos and Seferis. He endeavoured to forge an ideal for Greek poetry and for the Greek people that should be an expression of the highest purposes his spirit could conceive, and his later poetry bears witness to the austerity and grandeur of his task. A British subject for the last 43 years of his life, he died in Corfu in 1857. Written in a style that is acute, clear, concise and set off with a well-tempered wit, Romilly Jenkins' study of Solomos's life and work was the first book in English to present a portrait of the poet and introduce his powerful visionary poetry to the English reader.
