The glorious, classical legacy of Greece is universally revered. But this legacy has come at a price. How will Greece ever relinquish its ties with the past? Is there such a thing as "modern" Greece?
This groundbreaking book brings together a fascinating mix of literary texts, maps and aspects of material culture to uncover the identity of modern Greece, from the compositional process of the first National Poet to the first feminist text, the first Marxist treatise of Greek society to the Athens subway system. Calotychos argues that a new relationship with the past must be forged if Greek culture is to be truly part of the modern world.
Calotychos's refreshing approach provides original insight into the everyday, lived experience of modern Greece. He shows how it has long been undervalued and neglected, and presents the reader with an alternative cultural history of Greece for the first time. |
