[ilds] Cavafy - Whose Translation?

[James Gifford]

Hi Bruce,

I've read Hirst & Silk's _Alexandria: Real & Imagined_, and it is 
pricey.  I think it's something best accessed through a library, though 
it does have interesting materials.  The Durrell-related chapters are:

Fahmy, Khaled. "For Cavafy, With Love and Squalor: Some Critical Notes 
on the History and Historiography of Modern Alexandria." pp. 263-280.

Kararah, Azza. "Egyptian Literary Images of Alexandria." pp. 307-321.

Roessel, David. "A Passage Through Alexandria: The City in the Writing 
of Durrell and Forster." pp. 323-335.

Mabro, Robert. "Alexandria 1860-1960: The Cosmopolitan Identity." pp. 
247-262

To my mind, they do not always endorse the Philhellenic perspective, but 
they challenges they present are provocative and significant.

Best,
James
