The Medieval Greek RomanceRoutledge
Roderick Beaton
ISBN: 0415120322
price: $95.00 hardcover
First published 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 generations of scholars. Roderick
Beaton applies sophisticated methods of literary analysis to the
material, and throughout he considers 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 (always accompanied by literal English
renderings). For its second 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.
