Jean Moréas wrote at a period when the terms of literature itself were being argued over.
The record lists Jean Moréas as Greek writer (1856–1910).
Jean Moréas was born at Athens in 1856. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at University of Paris.
The nineteenth century was the age of the serialised novel and mass literacy; writers reached audiences of a size never seen before.
He worked as poet, writer and novelist.
The writing is recorded in Modern Greek and French.
Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold best.
That the work was written from France matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
Jean Moréas died in 1910, aged 54. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
