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
transnational approaches which demonstrate the aesthetic and
cultural value of these works in their own right and their
centrality to the medieval and early modern Greek, European and
Mediterranean literary traditions. From a historical perspective,
the volume also emphasizes how the romances represent a turning
point in the history of Greek letters: they are a repository of
both ancient and medieval oral poetic and novelistic traditions and
yet are often considered the earliest works of Modern Greek
literature.
