Description

Product Description Iconoclasm was the name given to the stance of that portion of Eastern Christianity that rejected worshipping God through images (eikones) representing Christ, the Virgin or the saints and was the official doctrine of the Byzantine Empire for most of the period between 726 and 843. It was a period marked by violent passions on either side. This is the first comprehensive account of the extant contemporary texts relating to this phenomenon and their impact on society, politics and identity. By examining the literary circles emerging both during the time of persecution and immediately after the restoration of icons in 843, the volume casts new light on the striking (re)construction of Byzantine society, whose iconophile identity was biasedly redefined by the political parties led by Theodoros Stoudites, Gregorios Dekapolites and Empress Theodora or the patriarchs Methodios, Ignatios and Photios. It thereby offers an innovative paradigm for approaching Byzantine literature. Book Description Explores the literary texts produced during Byzantine Iconoclasm and their use as ideological tools by the main political circles. About the Author Óscar Prieto Domínguez is a Lecturer in Greek Language and Literature at the University of Salamanca, Spain. He works on literary, historical and philological aspects of Greek literary production of Late Antiquity and the Middle Byzantine Ages and is the author of Casia de Constantinopla. Poemas (2019) and Literature Squared. Self-Reflexivity in Late Antique Literature (2020).
