First published by CUP in 1989, The Medieval Greek Romance provides
basic information for the non-specialist about Greek fiction during
the period 1071-1453, as well as proposing new solutions to
problems that have vexed previous generations of scholars. Roderick
Beaton applies sophisticated methods of literary analysis to the
material, and the bridges of the artificial gap which has separated
Byzantine'literature, in a form of ancient Greek as both homogenous
and of a high level of literary sophistication.
Throughout, consideration is given to relations and
interconnections with similar literature in western Europe. As most
of the texts discussed are not available in English translation,
the argument is illustrated by lucid plot summaries and extensive
quotation (accompanied by literal English renderings).
For this edition, The Medieval Greek Romance has been revised
throughout and expanded with the addition of an Afterword' which
assesses and responds to recent work on the subject.
