This is a short critical overview of Modern Greek literature from its origins, in the late Middle Ages, to the third quarter of the 18th century, that is, before the time what has come to be known as Modern Greek Enlightenment made its presence felt. This overview is different from the available Histories of Modern Greek Literature (which it does not aspire to replace) as it is more of a user-friendly, compositional and updated introduction to basic issues of early Modern Greek literature.

For each individual stage of this long time period, the author examines the spatiotemporal context of literary creation, its linguistic expression, its relationship to pre-existing local literary tradition, but also its cultural exchanges with the East and the West, the peaks and milestones in its evolution, its generic, thematic and formal diversity, the image of the works’ ‘sender’ (author, copyist or editor), the medium for the expression or dissemination of the ‘message’, and the public of the time. Contemporary editorial issues posed by the works of the early stages of Modern Greek literature are presented and discussed separately.

G. Kechagioglou, professor of Modern Greek Philology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, designed this book not only for students, educators and the educated or specialized readership, but also for any reader who wishes to form a concise, but overall picture of the developments in Modern Greek literature from the 12th century to 1774.
