Did Byzantines feel ecological grief? Mourning the natural world in Medieval Greek literature
This article contributes to the affective turn in modern ecocritical discourse, which considers how environmental destruction feels to those who witness it, those who experience it, and those who cause it. Affective ecocriticism has heretofore been applied to predominantly contemporary texts, and this article challenges the presentism of ecocritism. Departing from the movement in affect theory that conceives of emotion as a social construct, this…
Literature Is Iceland's Cultural Legacy
Haunted pasts and the future of Byzantine historiography
In 1478 a Byzantine courtier-turned-monk named George Sphrantzes related in a work conventionally called the Chronicon Minus the story of his life and times in the decades before and after the Ottoman conquest of Byzantium. The work's English translator, Marios Philippides, notes in his introduction that ‘students of history, sociology, and literature will find passages of interest in Sphrantzes’ account. In addition to its immense value as a his…

Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Classics in International Modernism and the Avant-Garde
Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Classics in International Modernism and the Avant-Garde examines how the writers and artists who lived from roughly the last quarter of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth sought to build a new world from the ashes of one marked by two world wars, global economic depression, the rise of nationalism, and the collapse of empires. By surveying the modernist appropriation of Ancient Greece and R…

Introduction
The Introduction breaks new ground in Mediterranean Studies by re-examining the life and thought of a major figure in the discipline, Fernand Braudel. Braudel’s writing was shaped by his wartime experience, which was marked by technological advancements, huge movements of population, the spread of varied political ideologies, the breakdown of colonial and imperial power, and new innovations in the aesthetic expression of the human experience. Bra…
Go Back to Homer’s Verse’
During the Albanian independence movement (1887–1913), Albanian nationalists sought to forge a new European identity to contrast with their former Ottoman one. The Homeric epics, as canonical Western texts that also reflected an East–West (metaphorically, in this case, Ottoman–European) conflict, thus became a locus for constructing this new national identity. As part of this Europeanizing nationalist project, Naim Frashe&x0308;ri published the f…

Towards a Byzantine ecocriticism
Since its rise in the mid-1990s, ecocriticism, the study of the depiction of the built and natural environments in literature, has been deeply engaged with contemporary political and social issues surrounding anthropogenic ecological degradation and climate change. Such an ideological outlook, however, limits the application of the discourse in the case of medieval literature, which lacks such contemporary resonance. Ecocritical and ecofeminist a…
Finally, Ali Podrimja Spoke
A leading Kosovar Albanian poet since he published his first volume as a teenager exactly half a century ago, Ali Podrimja was born in 1942 in the town of Gjakova, in western Kosova near the Albanian border. All too fitting for a man whose hometown has its etymology in the Albanian word for blood (gjak), Podrimja’s life and work are inextricably linked to the decades-long movement for national self-determination among the Albanian population in K…
Exile and Nostalgia in Albanian Lyric Poetry since 1750
