Summary:

Georganta (PhD, English literature, U. of Glasgow, Scotland) explores how British, Irish, and Greek poets engaged in dialogue about issues of national, metropolitan, diasporic, and multicultural belonging and identity through travel, immigration, and translation in the period 1922-1952. Among the poets examine are W.B. Yeats, Kostes Palamas, T.S Eliot, C.P. Cavafy, William Plomer, Demetrios Capetanakis, John Lehmann, and Louis MacNeice.
