Peter BienEducated at Deerfield, Harvard, Haverford, Columbia, and Bristol University, Peter Bien professed English Literature at Dartmouth College from 1961 to 1997 but became attracted earlier to Modern Greek literature owing to his marriage in 1955 to a natve Greek whom he met in a Quaker study center in England. His scholarly studies after L. P. Hartley include Kazantzakis and the Linguistic Revolution in Greek Literature, Three Generations of Greek Writers, Kazantzakis: Politics of the Spirit, and Yannis Ritsos: Collected Studies & Translations. He has taught as a visiting professor at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Melbourne, Thessaloniki, and Crete, has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Thessaloniki, a Harbison Award for Distinguished Teaching, and three Fulbright Fellowships, the first of which, in 1958-59, enabled him to come into close personal contact with L. P. Hartley. Read More Read Less
