Dionysius Solomos - Jenkins, Romilly

Originally published in 1940, this book contains the first English biography of the Greek poet Dionysius SolomĂłs, 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 SolomĂłs' poems and provides the original Greek text at the end of the book.
