Originally published in 1940, this book contains the first English biography of the Greek poet Dionysius Solomós, a contemporary of Byron and author of the poem Hymn to Liberty, which formed the basis for the Greek and Cypriot national anthems. Jenkins quotes at length from Solomós' poems and provides the original Greek text at the end of the book. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in nineteenth-century poets or the role played by poetry in the Greek revolution.
