The Medieval Greek Romance (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature)

There has never been a full study in any language of the contribution to medieval fiction of entertainment by writers in Greek. This book fills that gap and provides basic information for the non-specialist about Greek fiction during the period 1071-1453. Roderick Beaton argues that the long tradition of romance writing in Greek is both much more homogeneous, and of far greater literary sophistication, than has previously been realised. Throughout, consideration is given to relations and interconnections with similar literature in western Europe. There is a substantial, up-to-date bibliography.Roderick Beaton is the author of 'The Medieval Greek Romance (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature)', published 1989 under ISBN 9780521333351 and ISBN 0521333350.
