Books in the Early Modern and Greek Studies series

Yatromanolakis examines the complex, at times contradictory, responses to ancient Greece in Greek and broader Western European modernism. Exploring the dynamics of ruination and the reconfiguration of fundamental icons of ancient mythology in surrealism, the author shows that Greek antiquity was an integral constituent of avant-garde myth-making.

Explores interdisciplinary approaches to the poetics, intertexts, and influence of the work of C P Cavafy (Konstantinos Kavafis), one of the most important twentieth-century European poets.

Explores the relationship between women and property in the Greek lands and their broader social position in the century that culminated with the establishment of the national Greek state (1750-1850). This book focuses on women's ability in some areas to defend their property rights and be active economic agents.

Focusing on the return of the diasporic second generation to Greece, primarily in the first decade of the twenty-first century, Counter-Diaspora examines migration experiences of Greek-Americans and Greek-Germans growing up in the Greek diasporic setting, motivations for the counter-diasporic return, and evolving notions of the "homeland."
