Egypt is a culture that had novelistic literature earlier than others, and which was open to multiple different cultural influences over a long period. This chapter introduces the Alexander Romance , a text that embodies generic and cultural fluidity, surviving as it does in multiple different forms demonstrating multiple different linguistic and cultural registers. The Alexander Romance was antiquity’s most widely disseminated text after the Bible.
