Sherrard,Philip (ed)
The Pursuit of Greece : An Anthology selected by PhillipSherrard.
Re-issue of book originally published by John Murray1964. A journey around Greece reflected in the words of writers, ,journalists and poets from all places and periods."Travellers, poets, artists, even scholars, still go to Greece in search of something they feel that no land quite offers them. Partly no doubt this is a by-product of the enormous prestige the world of ancient Greece acquired subsequent to the Renaissance; partly, too, it is due to the sheer physical beauty with which Greece presents one at practically every step. For Philip Sherrard the enigma of Greece was virtually a lifelong preoccupation. In this anthology he explores its various aspects through the writings of those who over the centuries have found in Greece not simply an object of study or a romantic haven but a challenge, an incitement and a reciprocity that have stirred the wellsprings of both heart and imagination".291p. plates. bibliography. index.

Sappho & Carson, Anne (translator)
If Not, Winter : Fragments of Sappho
Parallel texts in Greek & English "A bilingual edition of the work of the Greek poet Sappho, in a new translation by Anne Carson. Sappho lived on the island of Lesbos from about 630 B.C. She was a musical genius who devoted her life to composing and performing songs. Of the nine books of lyrics Sappho is said to have composed, none of the music is extant and only one poem has survived complete. All the rest are fragments. In this book, Carson presents all of Sappho"s fragments in Greek and in English. Brackets and spaces give the reader a sense of what is absent as well as what is present on the papyrus. Carson"s translation illuminates Sappho"s reflections on love, desire, marriage, exile, bees, old age, shame, time, and many other aspects of the human situation" Book

The world followed the tragic tale of Christina Onassis:her childhood in a charmed world of pampered neglect,with her parent"s affection scrawled on postcards and wrapped in second-hand hugs from passing friends;her spoiled,beautiful mother"s quickie divorce and remarriage to an English peer,her father"s scandalous liaisons with Maria Callas and Jackie Kennedy;the violent deaths of her beloved aunt Eugenie Niarchos and her brother Alexander,the battle of wills with her father,and her escape into the international jet set;her inheritance of his empire,which she ruled with the ruthless verve of a true Onassis;and her own long odyssey in search of happiness,ending with sudden death in Argentina,away from her fourth husband and the child she loved so much. Christina"s story - a story of money,sex,drama and intrigue among the very rich - reached out to millions of people.Yet the woman herself,strong and passionate,remained a mystery. Dempster,the gossip columnist for the Daily Mail,knows her story intimately.His Heiress is compulsive reading,packed with new revelations.But it is more than simply an expose.It is a study of wealth and power,and of the woman who wielded both in a fierce hunt for love.s Book

Van Dyck, Karen
Kassandra and the Censors: Greek Poetry since 1967
(Series: Reading Women Writing) In this pioneering study of contemporary Greek poetry, Karen Van Dyck investigates modernist and postmodernist poetics at the edge of Europe. She traces the influential role of Greek women writers back to the sexual politics of censorship under the dictatorship (1967-1974). Reading the effects of censorship--in cartoons, the dictator's speeches, the poetry of the Nobel Laureate George Seferis, and the younger generation of poets--she shows how women poets use strategies which, although initiated in response to the regime's press law, prove useful in articulating a feminist critique. In poetry collections by Rhea Galanaki, Jenny Mastoraki and Maria Laina, among others, she analyzes how the censors' tactics for stabilizing signification are redeployed to disrupt fixed meanings and gender roles. As much a literary analysis of culture as a cultural analysis of literature, her book explores how censorship, consumerism, and feminism influence contemporary Greek women's poetry as well as how the resistance to clarity in this poetry trains readers to rethink these cultural practices. Only with greater attention to the cultural and formal specificity of writing, Van Dyck argues, is it possible to theorize the lessons of censorship and women's writing.305p. bibliography. index Book

Rood, Tim
The Sea! The Sea! : The Shout of the Ten Thousand in the Modern Imagination
"'The Sea! The Sea! ' tells the story of 'Thalatta! Thalatta!', the shout first uttered on a mountains in eastern Turkey by the famous Ten Thousand, the army of Greek mercenaries whose adventures in what are now Turkey, Syria and Iraq were described by the Athenian historian and philosopher Xenophon. The shout itself has had an extraordinary afterlife, playing a persistent part in the European and American cultural tradition over the last two hundred years. Tim Rood tells its story for the first time, taking in literary masterpieces by writers such as Heine, Shelley and Joyce, books of travel and adventure set in the Middle East and elsewhere, articles in Victorian periodicals, popular romance novels, newspaper editorials at the time of the British evacuation from Dunkirk, a painting by the nineteenth-century artist Benjamin Robert Haydon, an unpublished radio play by Louis MacNeice, and a modern novel and film which transfer Xenophon's story to New York City. 262p. illus. bibliography.index Book
