Book excerpt: This work considers the role literature played in the construction of a national culture - that sphere of shared sentiments, values, and beliefs that define the nation-state in Greece during the last two centuries. Unlike other works that address the formation of national literatures in Europe, this volume explores the importation of literature into a largely non-Western society.
