Modern Greek adventure novel of ordeal
Project description
The project aims to
- describe how Greek romantic novels written before 1850 relate to the adventure novel of ordeal, and expose intertextual relationships with ancient or Byzantine models;
- make text analyses to illustrate the generic pattern and the ideological functioning of the modern Greek adventure novel;
- determine how this fits in with both Greek and European Romanticism.
