This paper gives an overview of the reception of Kalvos’s poetry by
modern Greek criticism, between the years 1818-1960. Anumber of issues,
pertinent to the subject, are presented in the context of the reader-response
criticism theory; more specifically, the material is viewed through the theoretical framework introduced by Hans Robert Jauss in his celebrated essay
“Literary history as a challange to literary theory”.
