A seminar in which we are examining the links between Cavafy’s archive and the archives of other writers in the interwar period. Cavafy’s traces in other archives, such as dedications, letters, clippings or books, speak about the structures of the literary scene in the interwar period, and show us the gradual, symbolic prestige the poet’s personality gained during this time, not only in the intellectual life of Alexandria but also in the cultural center of Athens.
Christina Dounia: Professor of Modern Greek literature University of Athens
Moderated by Yannis Papatheodorou
The seminar has held 28.02.2019 at the Onassis Library.
