Writer and Occasion in Twelfth-Century Byzantium

Beschreibung

This is the first comprehensive study of occasional writing in Byzantium, focusing on the literary output of Constantine Manasses. It argues that, although such works were commissioned by wealthy 'friends' to mark specific events, he and his fellow writers succeeded in developing a strong and individual authorial presence within them.
