Written between 1143 and 1153 by the daughter of Byzantine Emperor
Alexios I Komnenos, The Alexiad is one of the most popular and
revealing primary sources in the vast canon of medieval literature.
Princess Anna Komnene, eldest child of the imperial couple, reveals
the inner workings of the court, profiles its many extraordinary
personages, and offers a firsthand account of immensely significant
events such as the First Crusade, as well as its impact on the
relationship between eastern and western Christianity. A celebrated
triumph of Byzantine letters, this is an unparalleled view of
Constantinople and the medieval world. This Penguin Classics
edition is based on E. R. A. Sewter's renowned translation, revised
by Peter Frankopan. It also includes an introduction, notes and
other critical apparatus by Frankopan.
