MEDIA related to the CENSUS OF MODERN GREEK LITERATURE
Participating in the Greek Bicentennial celebration of 2021
The CENSUS project has now held a first presentation of its results, initially focussing on the section “GreekAUTHORS 19th-21st century”, as part of the celebration of Greece’s 200th anniversary year (2021) – with support from the Laskaridis Foundation and as one of the 130 international research projects under the aegis of the collective program "Πρωτοβουλία 1821-2021" ('Initiative 1821-2021') (newspaper TO VIMA – 1 February 2020). See also on the www.protovoulia21.gr/ website. Another citation of the CENSUS among Greece's Bicentennial Initiatives abroad is found here.
The announced online presentation was held on Tuesday, 5 April, 2022, 19:00 (Athens time). At that time the new website (moderngreekliterature.org) was launched and is henceforth open to users.

As Peter Mackridge, Prof. Emeritus of Modern Greek at the University of Oxford, wrote (in his 1992 review): “…”Until its next edition, [the Census] will be an indispensible guide for all English-speaking teachers and students of modern Greek literature”.
From the perspective of Greece, bibliographer Dimitris Daskalopoulos has referred to the Census as "[the record of] our fortune abroad" («το βιος μας στην ξενιτειά»).
