- Abstract:
- Philhellenism in modernist literature is familiar. I examine Lawrence Durrell’s works, locating him between Eliot’s Classicism (perhaps the hegemonic Modernism) and the Greek authors who responded to Eliot. Through his ties to Greek Modernists and Parisian Surrealists, Durrell contributed to the Anglo-American tradition in a mode that reflects the influence of what George Seferis, the Nobel Laureate for 1963, later called “the Greek style.” This places Durrell at a point of tension between competing movements.
