Dear Colleagues and Friends,
*INVITATION to a WEBINAR *
*“Greek Authors 19th-21st centuries — The CENSUS website”*
The ‘CENSUS of Modern Greek Literature’ project is organizing a first
presentation online
<http://www.laskaridisfoundation.org/en/webinar-greek-authors-19th-21st-centuries-the-census-website/>.
The project team and I hope that you will join us on *Tuesday April 5th,
2022, 12:00 (Boston time)* to hear more about the current state of the
CENSUS and its future outlook.
As you are aware, “The CENSUS of Modern Greek Literature: a bibliography
for the English-speaking world” aims to facilitate access to Greek
literature for speakers of English by providing references to (all)
English-language translations of modern Greek literature and to (all)
studies in English that relate to modern Greek literature from the twelfth
century AD to the present. One of the main goals of the CENSUS is to be
helpful to libraries (academic, institutional, personal...) -- towards the
enhancement of their collections in Hellenic Studies. It's a partnership:
we rely on good library collections as sources for the materials that we
describe.
The event features the presentation of the “*Greek Authors 19th-21st
centuries*” section — the first to be made available on the CENSUS website
under Open Access. This most recent phase of the project was completed,
with the support of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation, through the
collaboration of two ad hoc teams of researchers / fellowship recipients —
in Boston and under the aegis of the Marilena Laskaridis Chair of Modern
Greek Studies, University of Amsterdam. The initial section to be presented
includes references to 800 Greek literary authors (in approximately 7,000
entries).
