Abstract
Abstract Despite the determination of the older generation of poets and novelists, during the years of occupation and the slide into civil war, to see the present trials of their country as the darkness before the dawn of a new period of reconciliation, the 1940s in reality proved to be a decade of disintegration unprecedented in Greece in modern times. The most visible consequence of the civil war of the late 1940s was the intense and continued political polarization, whose origin was described in the previous chapter. Between 1947 and 1974, when the Communist Party was outlawed, the face-off between the victorious Right and the obstinate rump of the Left which, particularly in intellectual circles, refused to lie down and admit defeat, reflected in miniature the stalemate in Europe as a whole throughout the cold war.
