Modernism of the 1930’s poet generation : Kariotakis and Seferis

• Μπαλάσκας, Βασίλειος

Modernism in poetry is introduced in Greek literature by poets of the 1930’s. New poetry confronts with traditional, in terms of form and content. Kariotakis is considered to be the forerunner of Greek modern poetry, as his work tends to be a brief controversy of poetry value in general. This does not mean that his poetry has not to do with political and social reality, which is commented. This is also the main common point with Seferis’ poetry, the main representative of modernism ideology in Greek modern poetry. However pessimism is elaborately hidden in Seferis’ work, in contrast to Kariotakis poetry.
