I am writing this at the very end of 1998, the bicentenary of Solomos’s birth. Stylianos Alexiou’s controversial selective edition of Solomos’s works, published in 1994, provided a new boost to Solomos studies, and in this survey I propose to discuss work published on Solomos since that date. Dimitris Angelatos conveniently published a survey of Solomos studies from 1964 to 1991. Angelatos’ survey is descriptive rather than critical, and — for non-specialists at least — is insufficiently explicit about such matters as the dispute between Yorgos Veloudis and Louis Coutelle; but at least it lists studies published over a period of a quarter of a century, with some indication of their content.
