The Myth of Asia Minor in Greek Fiction
Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe
This encyclopedia documents the presence and impact of nationalized cultural consciousness in European nationalism. It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today. Edited by Joep Le…
The British Council and Anglo-Greek Literary Interactions, 1945–1955
‘This place is really the other end of the world’: ‘Am disappointed by the Greek intelligentsia whom I’d heard much of but perhaps we haven’t met the right cliques yet.’ 1 These comments in letters a few months into Louis MacNeice’s Athens secondment from the BBC to direct the British Institute in 1950 hardly breathe the Philhellenism which was such a feature of many - notably Rex Warner, or Kenneth Johnstone before that - who were part of that A…

Robin Fletcher
Robin Anthony Fletcher, who died on 15 January 2016, was born in Godalming on 30 May 1922. He was educated at Marlborough College, as was R. M. Dawkins, who served as Bywater and Sotheby Professor of Byzantine and Modern Greek at Oxford from 1920 to 1939. As Dawkins had done in the First World War, Robin served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in the Second World War, during which time he commanded a Greek caique in the Eastern Mediterranean.…

The Christian Hellenism and Linguistic Archaism of Neofytos Doukas
The priest and teacher Neofytos Doukas (c.1760–1845) was one of the chief proponents of linguistic archaism in modern Greece. A romantic religious nationalist, he believed that the Greeks (i.e. the Orthodox Christians who recognized the Patriarch of Constantinople as their religious leader) should learn to speak Ancient Greek as their natural language. This chapter analyses the ideological presuppositions behind Doukas’ rhetoric (with its mixture…
Venise après Venise
Even though the Ionian Islands (Heptanese) were removed from Venetian control in 1797, it was not until 1852 that Italian ceased to be used as an official language there. My article examines the official use of the three relevant languages (Italian, Greek and English), as laid down by statute and carried out in practice, and traces the stages leading to the final replacement of Italian with Greek for all official purposes. My study is based on th…
Greek
Greek: A Comprehensive Grammar of the Modern Language has become firmly established as the leading reference guide to modern Greek grammar. With its detailed treatment of all grammatical structures, its analysis of the complexities of the language and its particular attention to areas of confusion and difficulty, it is the first truly comprehensive grammar of the language to be produced. It provides a study of the real patterns of use in contempo…

Language and National Identity in Greece, 1766-1976
This book provides a history of the great language controversy that has occupied and impassioned Greeks — sometimes with fatal results — for over two hundred years. It begins in the late 18th century when a group of Greek intellectuals sought to develop a new, Hellenic, national identity alongside the traditional identity supplied by Orthodox Christianity. The ensuing controversy focused on the language, fuelled by a desire to develop a form of G…

The purpose of this note is to address some of the criticisms made by Alexandra Georgakopoulou and Dionysis Goutsos in their review of our Greek: a comprehensive grammar of the modern language in BMGS 23 (1999), pp. 337-40. We consider it necessary to clarify a number of issues because some of the points raised in the review are either unsubstantiated or inappropriate, stemming as they apparently do from the reviewers’ misunderstanding of our aim…
Solomos after Alexiou
I am writing this at the very end of 1998, the bicentenary of Solomos’s birth. Stylianos Alexiou’s controversial selective edition of Solomos’s works, published in 1994, provided a new boost to Solomos studies, and in this survey I propose to discuss work published on Solomos since that date. Dimitris Angelatos conveniently published a survey of Solomos studies from 1964 to 1991. Angelatos’ survey is descriptive rather than critical, and — for no…

The Pontic Dialect
The majority of ethnic Greeks who are leaving the Soviet Union in order to settle in Greece are Pontians. These people originate from the eastern half of the southern shores of the Black Sea. This article attempts to deal briefly (a) with the relationship of their dialect with other varieties of Greek and (b) with the question whether Pontic is a dialect of Greek or a separate language. The conclusion drawn is that Pontic is a modern Greek dialec…
Greek-Speaking Moslems of North-East Turkey
It has become common in recent years for Greek Pontians, settled in Greece since 1922/3, and their families to go on coach-tours to visit their family homes in Pontus. They tend to return to Greece with stories of finding local people there with whom they have been able to converse in the Pontic dialect of Greek. Surprisingly, these travellers appear to take this for granted, and, as far as I am aware, no one has made a study of the Greek spoken …

The Metrical Structure of the Oral Decapentasyllable
What Milman Parry saw as his ‘historical method’ in Homeric criticism has paradoxically relieved students of the Greek folk song from the obligation to approach their subject of study from an exclusively genetic or ‘etymological’ — in a word, historical — viewpoint. Instead of having to search for — or rather to speculate about — the origins of Greek oral poetry in the mists of antiquity or to assess the extent to which a song can provide reliabl…

Some Pamphlets on Dead Greek Dialects’
After a brief account of the life and personality of R.M. Dawkins (Director of the British School at Athens, 1906–1914), based partly on unpublished material, the author summarizes Dawkins's career as an archaeologist, philologist, and folklorist. There follows a critical account of his work on the Greek dialects of Cappadocia and of other regions in central Asia Minor; Dawkins's magnum opus, Modern Greek in Asia Minor (1916) was the most thoroug…
Symbolism and Irony in Three Novels by Kosmas Politis
In a recent book, Mario Vitti has described Kosmas Politis as ‘emotionally the most highly charged novelist’ of the Generation of 1930. Vitti also points out that Eroica is ‘compositely organized down to the minutest detail’, despite the author’s assertion that he wrote each instalment ‘on the presses’. In an attempt to account for the ‘magical’, ‘poetic’ quality of Politis’ writing as pointed out by Greek critics, Vitti investigates Politis’ use…

Brussels and the Greek Poetry Mountain
Time out of Mind
The work of half a dozen scholars, which has appeared during the last twenty years, has brought about a veritable revolution in the way Solomos’ poetry (and in particular ‘The Cretan’) can be read. Their publications have enabled us at last to view Solomos’ work in its proper context and in its proper perspective. The first and without doubt the most significant of these publications was the late Linos Politis’ edition of the autograph manuscript…

The Modern Greek Language
The Modern Greek Language
This is the first comprehensive survey of Standard Modern Greek, as it has emerged from the two coexistent varieties of the language - katharevousa and demotic. The book offers a descriptive analysis of the structure of the language and of present-day usage, which is illustrated by examples drawn from a wide cross-section of spoken, written and literary sources.
A Turco-Greek inscription at Ürgüp in Cappadocia
Ürgüp is today an important tourist centre, since most visitors to the Byzantine churches and monasteries of Cappadocia use the town as a base for their excursions. Before the First World War the majority of its population were Orthodox Christians, many of whom enjoyed a high degree of prosperity. A large proportion of these were Turcophones, and the number of them who read karamanlidika (Turkish written in Greek characters) was substantial, to j…

The Oxford Colloquium on Orality in Medieval and Modern Greek Poetry

The following articles represent a selection of the papers given at this colloquium, some printed with minimal alterations (thus preserving some traces of their oral performance) and others extensively rewrit…
