The term Heptanese School of literature ([Επτανησιακή Σχολή, literally: The School of the seven islands] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help), also known as the Ionian School) denotes the literary production of the Ionian Island's literature figures from the late 18th century till the end of the 19th century. The epicenter of this production is considered to be the poet Dionysios Solomos, so its periods are conventionally divided as follows: Pre-Solomian poets (Προσολωμικοί ποιητές), Solomian poets, Post-Solomian poets, Minors and Descendants.
General traits

- the use of Dimotiki instead of Katharevousa,
- the manifest influence that the contemporary Italian poets had in its thematology, that is regarding the depiction of real-life scenes,
- the worship of homeland,
- the worship of nature,
- a "romantic impulse" (also described as folkloric idealism),
- an emphasis on the importance of love and freedon,
