Description

Explore the evolution of the Greek novel with this comprehensive study from Routledge. This work traces the genre from its peak in late Antiquity through its learned revival in twelfth-century Byzantium. Unlike other studies, this book provides full coverage of Byzantine novels, showing how they depend on and react to ancient traditions. By examining these works against the cultural backdrop of ancient Greek literature, the text offers a complete view of the genre's development. Dreams and Suicides moves beyond simple literary analysis to examine the social context of these stories. It looks at the cultural symptoms and attitudes portrayed within the novels, rooting the literature in real-world social settings. This makes it a valuable resource for students of ancient history and literature who want to understand the human experiences and societal values reflected in these classical texts.
