Theatricality, didacticism, prosaic verse, use of persons as symbols, contemplative mood, flashbacks are some of Cavafy’s recurring ‘tropes’. Discuss.

Within the vast poetry collection of Constantine Cavafy, arguably, a pattern of recurring tropes emerges, offering the readers an in depth understanding of what defines his artistry. The poems that I have chosen for this essay being Young Men of Sidon, Alexandrian Kings and Kaisarion, from his book The Collected poems. One might say that they serve as an example of Cavafy’s gravitation towards an array of literary devices such as theatricality, didacticism, prosaic verse, use of persons as symbols, contemplative mood and flashbacks, one might say that they create a narrative that extends beyond the individual poems, inviting us to explore the timeless themes captured by Cavafy.

How does Seferis’ mythical method interact with Greece’s lasting socio-political issues?

Seferis uses the mythical method in his poetry to allude to and comment upon social and political issues in Greece in his lifetime. Before discussing his poetry, it is important to define what is meant by Seferis’ mythical method. This method can be described as allusive, as although Seferis does make direct references to myth he does so in inventive ways, for example by using narrative space, symbols and characters to evoke Greek myths.

The form of Dramatic Monologue as perfected by Ritsos’ poetry.

Yannis Ritsos is widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in contemporary Greek poetry. He managed to revolutionise the idea of a dramatic monologue and create not just beautiful poetry, but also a multifaceted art form that has depth on psychological, social, and philosophical levels throughout all of his publications. The dramatic monologue form was popularised by Victorian poets such as Robert Browning, but Ritsos revitalised it and many poets to this day still use his style as inspiration. His ability to construct identities and characters that the reader can genuinely sense and almost experience is skilful.

Introduction George Vizyenos (1849–1896) stands as a seminal figure in modern Greek literature, adeptly weaving personal experience with historical and cultural reflections in his fiction. His narratives delve into the intricate landscapes of memory, loss, and belonging, echoing broader themes of Greek identity and diaspora.

In Ritsos’ Moonlight Sonata what sentiments does the woman’s confession provoke/inspire to you and how these compare to the ones felt by the young man who remains silent throughout her long monologue.

Yannis Ritsos' "Moonlight Sonata" is a poignant and emotionally charged poem that presents a deeply intimate monologue of a woman speaking to a silent young man. The setting is night, with the moonlight casting a dreamlike atmosphere over the scene. The woman's confession, filled with personal revelations, memories, and emotions, evokes a variety of sentiments in the reader and provokes a complex response.

James Stewart, a 3rd year student of mine, followed my 'Introduction to Modern Greek Literature' courses and was fascinated enough to produce an excellent essay on last year, also on Seferis, and this hearfelt and sophisticated dissertation "an excellent piece of work, particularly sophisticated discussion of time and temporality in Seferis" in the external examiner's own words."

In memory of Steven Hawley

Introduction to Modern Greek Literature

Lecturer: Dr Dimitra Tzanidaki-Kreps

University of Reading, Department of Classics



Steven Hawley was a 3rd year Classics student of mine who enjoyed immensely my Modern Greek literature course and produced a beautiful essay on Vizyenos which he wrote sensitively and insightfully using minimal bibliography. I gave it a clear first before the news of his tragic death last Spring reached me. Losing a young bright student was deeply upsetting for me but rereading his essay was consoling; in Steven’s own words: “The Only Journey of His Life is a story very much concerned with death, but it is also a story concerned with life and new beginnings. Every time something ‘dies’ in the story – be it a way of life, a point of view, or a person – something else begins.” Steven clearly had found some comfort in writing this essay. It has been a pleasure teaching him and I am proud of his work.
