Foreign Literature in Translation and Primary Education: The Case of Contemporary School Textbooks


Γιώργος Ανδρειωμένος
Abstract
This paper examines the way in which foreign literature in translation coexists with modern Greek literary passages in language textbooks for Greek primary education, from 1937 to 1996. The reasons which have led the authors of these books to the selection of specific translated texts out of european and international literature are analysed in connection with the social, political and educational conventions in Greece, during the past sixty years. An annotated list of the material, which has been taken into consideration, is given at the end of this study.
