C. P. Cavafy

Thirty-six “notes,” twenty-nine in Greek, and seven in English, written by C.P. Cavafy (1863-1933), between 1902 and 1911, were originally collected and edited with an introduction and notes by George Savidis, the literary scholar and Cavafy archivist. The little book, entitled by its editor Unpublished Notes on Poetics and Ethics, was published in Athens by Hermes in 1983, the 50th anniversary of the poet’s death. C.P. Cavafy’s Complete Poems, translated into English by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard, have been published by Princeton.
