Paperback. Condition: New. In this path-breaking new work, Gregory Jusdanis asks why literature matters. Why are we afraid to admit our pleasures of reading, to defend the arts to the school board, to discuss the importance of literature in life? Drawing on a wealth of references from Aristophanes to Eudora Welty, from Fernando Pessoa to Orhan Pamuk, from Cavafy to hypertext stories, Jusdanis reminds us that the arts have always been under attack. Instead of despair, however, he offers a pragmatic defense of literature, arguing that it performs a social function in dramatizing the break between illusion and reality, life and the life-like, permanence and metamorphosis. The ability to distinguish between the actual and the imaginary is essential to human beings. Our capacity to imagine something new, to project ourselves into the mind of another person, and to fight for a new world is based on this distinction. Literature allows us to imagine alternate possibilities of human relationships and political institutions, even in the watery world of the Internet. At once daring and lucid, Fiction Agonistes considers the place of art today with passion and optimism.

This full-length theoretical examination of Constantine Cavafy breaks the study of this great Greek poet free from the narrow context of traditional scholarship and introduces the latest critical developments into the study of Greek poetry. Although Cavafy was concerned with poetry and art, he published only a few theoretical texts on these issues, addressing them instead in his poetry. Gregory Jusdanis has mined the poet's insights from many forms of his writing, including not only poems but also essays, articles, letters, and notes. Situating the poet in the European intellectual climate of the late nineteenth centuries, Professor Jusdanis argues that Cavafy sometimes provoked a hostile response by presenting the reading public with a poetry and poetics incompatible with the literary notions then current in Greece. In this lucidly written study he examines Cavafy's poetics in the light of Roman Jakobson's model of verbal communication and demonstrates that Cavafy's ideas on art and literature were varied and related to several movements, including romanticism, symbolism, aestheticism, and modernism. Gregory Jusdanis is Assistant Professor of Modern Greek at The Ohio State Uni-versity.
