 poetrymagazines.org.uk - Review
The study of European Romanticism may find in Solomos’ case an exponent of German thought and a cultivated verse informed both by the Greek tradition of fifteensyllable verse, folk songs, and by poets such as Novalis and Dante.
And the introduction by Peter Mackridge discusses Solomos’ work in the context of European Romanticism, the practices followed by other editors of the poet’s work (published in Greek) and instances of bilingualism.
In a broader context the volume could be of interest to those studying intellectual movements in the nineteenth century, because Solomos, like many of his contemporaries, showed an interest in the creative sciences of his time (including psychology) which is clearly reflected in the poems published in this volume.

 Greek literature - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Greek literature
The 10th-century epic of Digenis Akritas is usually considered to mark the beginnings of modern Greek vernacular literature, and the Demotic was kept alive in the flourishing Cretan literature of the 16th and 17th centuries, in numerous popular songs, and in the Klephtic ballads of the 18th century.
With independence in the 19th century the popular movement became prominent with the Ionian poet Dionysios Solomos (1798–1857), Andreas Kalvos (1796–1869), and others, and later with Iannis Psichari (1854–1929), short-story writer and dramatist, and the prose writer Alexandros Papadiamandis (1851–1911), who influenced many younger writers, for example Konstantinos Hatzopoulos (1868–1921), poet and essayist.
After the 1920s, the novel began to emerge with Stratis Myrivilis (1892–1969) and Nikos Kazantzakis (1885–1957), author of Zorba the Greek (1946) and also a poet.
