Critical Storytelling
Key principle: DEEPER metaphors typically emphasize the positive aspects of an event while also acknowledging its negative side.
Satire in the Middle Byzantine Period
Writer and Occasion in Twelfth-Century Byzantium
Troy in Byzantine Romances
Troy in Byzantine Romances : Homeric Reception In Digenis Akritis The Tale Of Achilles And The Tale Of Troy
Round Trip to Hades in the Eastern Mediterranean Tradition
Round Trip to Hades in the Eastern Mediterranean Tradition explores how the theme of visiting the Underworld and returning alive has been treated, transmitted and transformed in the ancient Greek and Byzantine traditions. The journey was usually a descent (katabasis) into a dark and dull place, where forgetfulness and punishment reigned, but since ‘everyone’ was there, it was also a place that offered opportunities to meet people and socialize. F…
Reading the Late Byzantine Romance
The corpus of Palaiologan romances consists of about a dozen works of imaginative fiction from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries which narrate the trials and tribulations of aristocratic young lovers. This volume brings together leading scholars of Byzantine literature to examine the corpus afresh and aims to be the definitive work on the subject, suitable for scholars and students of all levels. It offers interdisciplinary and transnatio…
Elena N. Boeck. Imagining the Byzantine Past
If the past is a foreign country, what does it look like?

Boeck in her recent monograph literally illustrate foreign countries, or perhaps, rather, foreign countries in the guise of something known. Th…
Les amours d’Ismène et d’Isménias – « roman très connu »
Il est bien connu que le roman grec a joué un rôle important au début de l’Europe moderne et surtout ici en France.

L’Astrée d’Honoré d’Urfé était un roman pastoral, mais il était clairement influencé par Héliodore. Artamèn…

Meurtre à Byzance
Byzance est là oú je suis. Thus runs the suggestively recurrent theme in a recent novel by Julia Kristeva, the famous psychoanalyst, linguist and semiotician ( Meurtre à Byzance . Paris: Fayard, 2004). Kristeva, who immigrated to France from Bulgaria in the 1960s, here seizes the opportunity to set forth problems concerning her own East European and Orthodox background. She does so in a form that to a remarkably high degree mirrors her own work a…
