Important literary review of the Greek Poet,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cavafy's Alexandria (Paperback)
I had been reading Cavafy's poetry for a rather long time before picking up Keeley's book. The book has opened up new aspects of the poetry I didn't discover while reading consciously. For example, Keeley notes the myth-making drama of Alexandria (both ancient and modern) that Cavafy created over a span of 20 years. Toward the end of the book, Keeley outlines modern criticism of Cavafy's work and attempts to show the genius that Cavafy is.

A must if you like Cavafy,
By Emmanuel "Emmanuel" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cavafy's Alexandria (Paperback)
I'm an unapologetic Cavafy Fan and this book provided new insights into his world.
My advise is read the poems, read this book and then read the poems again and you will find a whole new way of looking at Cavafy's genius. |
