Description

Explore the literary dynamism of Byzantine hagiography with this scholarly volume from Routledge. For a thousand years, the veneration of saints drove a wide range of literary forms that changed alongside the political and social landscapes of the empire. This second volume focuses on genres and contexts, tracking how subgenres developed and declined from the fourth century until the end of the empire. This research companion examines how the selection of saintly heroes and the use of different linguistic registers captured the voice of the Byzantine people. By studying the shifts in social and literary spheres, readers gain a deep understanding of how these texts reflected the world around them. It is a necessary resource for those studying ancient history, religious literature, and the cultural evolution of the Byzantine era.
