Abstract

Supposing we could transpose this occasion back in time by seventy or eighty years, the topic I have chosen – the Survival of Greek – would have been one that presented no problems. As a professional promoter of Greek culture talking about my subject I should have been able to appeal confidently to my audience’s shared assumptions and large certainties. Let me give you a sample of what I might have said (this was published in 1914).
