Engaging with the work of Nobel Prize-winning poet Odysseus Elytis
within the framework of international modernism, Marinos Pourgouris
places the poet's work in the context of other modernist and
surrealist writers in Europe. At the same time, Pourgouris puts
forward a redefinition of European Modernism that makes the
Mediterranean, and Greece in particular, the discursive contact
zone and incorporates neglected elements such as national identity
and geography. Beginning with an examination of Greek Modernism,
Pourgouris's study places Elytis in conversation with Albert Camus;
analyzes the influence of Charles Baudelaire, Gaston Bachelard, and
Sigmund Freud on Elytis's theory of analogies; traces the symbol of
the sun in Elytis's poetry by way of the philosophies of Heraclitus
and Plotinus; examines the influence of Le Corbusier on Elytis's
theory of architectural poetics; and takes up the subject of
Elytis's application of his theory of Solar Metaphysics to poetic
form in the context of works by Freud, C. G. Jung, and Michel
Foucault. Informed by extensive research in the United States and
Europe, Pourgouris's study makes a compelling contribution to the
comparative study of Greek modernism, the Mediterranean, and the
work of Odysseus Elytis.
