Natouralist influences on greek post-war prose

This thesis investigates the degree and the ways the naturalist movement survived in post-war prose and specifically in the writings of the major representatives of the first post-war generation Nikos Kasdaglis, Alexandros Kotzias, Spyros Plaskovitis and Andreas Fragkias. These authors, pioneers of particular war aesthetics, are considered as indicators of the discourse this generation of writers constructed with both the Greek realist and naturalist narrative tradition of the 1880's and the French and American standards, all of which they creatively assimilated and revitalised.
The thesis is a profound study of the morphological choices and thematic motifs of the aforementioned writers, highlighting the interaction between form and content. Additionally, the study reveals and analyses the aesthetic influence of Greek post-war writers from the naturalist tradition through a direct comparison of Greek and French standards, focusing on the works of the French school which are included in the naturalist canon, for example selected works of Honore de Balzac, Gustav Flaubert, Emile Zola and Guy de Maupassant. This approach is achieved through the deployment of the most recent analyses about naturalism, which regard naturalist poetics as a versatile way of writing, incorporating specific literary conventions, rhetorical techniques and theoretical principles. The thesis also attempts a comprehensive clarification of naturalist writing in direct relation to the social, historical and cultural elements that influenced both the Greek and the French version, moving towards a comparison of convergences and divergences, in order to emphasise the passage from traditional naturalism to its modernised version.
