Principal Publications
1. BOOKS:
Modern Greek Theatre: A Quest for Hellenism.
Book review: “It has three extremely interesting
chapters (out of five) which look at the work of women dramatists: Evanthia Kairi, Kaliroi Siganou-Parren and Loula Anagnostaki. These are
cemented together by less interesting but necessary chapters which focus,
respectively, on Dimitris Hatziaslanis’s
comedy Babel and (in addition to the
tiresome plays by Kazantzakis and Sikelianos
mentioned above) Palamas’s Trisevgeni. While focusing on these works, and when linking them into an
overall argument about national identity, Constantinidis
constructs a genuinely persuasive and provocative thesis, into which a
well-researched account of socio-political realities and even more telling
theoretical points are woven.” Christopher Robinson,
Theatre under Deconstruction?:
A Question of Approach.
Book review: "This is a fascinating book,
innovative in both its structure and its arguments" Michael Quinn,
