Epitomized as one of the
significant and foremost figures of the Athens-focused Neo-Romanticism, Kostas
G. Karyotakis (1896-1928) emerged in time as the true representative and proxy
of the 1920s generation in the Contemporary and Modern Greek Literature. His
suicide at the young age of 32 generated widespread and extensive echoes and
resonances, as his death instigated the creation of a literary current
designated as the “Karyotakizm.”
The influence of the French poet Charles Baudelaire
(1821-1867) began to be observed in the Greek literature, commencing from the
advent of the 19th century. Indisputably, he imparted a profound impact also on
Karyotakis. Both authors came under the influence of the French Symbolism
School.
In Karyotakis’ poems, the inspiration and
direct effect of as well as similarities with Baudelaire are most visible and
discernible. For that matter, in the core motifs appearing in his poetry, such
as death, sleep, escapade, sickness, travel, oblivion and dream, a congruence
and harmony with Baudelaire are most obvious.
