The Responsibility of Testimony. Literature and History in Contemporary Cypriot Literature

Abstract

As far as we know, only a handful of Greek writers (of poetry or prose) drew their inspiration from the Cypriot tragedy of 1974. On the contrary, the last collection of poetry of Kyriakos Charalambidis and the narration of Yiorgos Charitonidis focus on the relationship between literature and history, and continue to express the diachronic and contemporary pain of romiosini.
