Reviews

Most singular about Cavafy is his reception among world critics today. From a rather timid poet half-perceived in Lawrence Durrell’s Justine or in E. M. Forster’s Alexandria: A History and a Guide, today’s Cavafy is constantly evoked not just as the most read and translated Greek poet but as a poet whose work rivals that of any 20th-century poet. As this volume goes to show, he may have been dead almost a century ago, but he is our contemporary in every way imaginable. * André Aciman, Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature, CUNY Graduate Center, USA, and author of Call Me by Your Name (2007) *
