Philsophical, historical and sensual: an examination of Cavafy’s thematic collections
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2016
Extract
Between 1905 and his death in 1933 Cavafy circulated a total of seven thematic collections of his poems, as well as five chronological collections. In the latter the poems are arranged in the order in which they were first published, so that it is perfectly clear in what sense the chronological collections are chronological. The aim of this investigation is to determine in what sense the thematic collections are thematic: to attempt to disclose through a close scrutiny of the collections the principles on which they are constructed.
