Autor Wolfram Hörandner, Andreas Rhoby
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mai 2019
This book offers the first complete overview of Byzantine poetry from the 4th to the 15th century. By bringing together 22 scholars, it explores the development of poetic trends and the interaction between poetry and society throughout the Byzantine millennium; it addresses a wide range of issues concerning the writing and reading of poetry (such as style, language, metrics, function, and circulation); and it surveys a large number of texts by looking closely at their place within the social and cultural milieus of their authors. Overall, the volume aims to enhance our understanding of Byzantine poetry and shed light on its important place in Byzantine literary culture.

Recenzii

"This is a well conceived and organised book, covering a wide range of subjects concerned with Byzantine poetry, that will prove a useful tool for scholars of all levels". Eleni Kaltsogianni, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 09.09.2020.

"The volume will appeal and greatly help readers at different stages of their education. On the one hand, the more experienced ones will appreciate the extremely rich and up-to-date surveys. On the other, any graduate student entering the dauntingly large and often not clearly charted field of Byzantine studies will find a thorough introduction to the various periods, genres and contexts of Byzantine poetry and much to tickle their curiosity. [...] the Brill Companion to Byzantine Poetry is an impressive and truly remarkable achievement. It will hopefully contribute to giving Byzantine literature the place it deserves within Byzantine and Medieval studies at large both in research and in teaching . Cosimo Paravano, in Medioevo Greco, 20, 2020.
