Michael Psellos' Chronographia: Rhetorical History and the Tragicomedy of Byzantium and the Self
Buckley, Penelope (University of Melbourne)
Offers a new kind of analysis of Psellos' Chronographia as a rhetorical performance and a work in progress. Reveals the book's increasingly complex structure and examines issues such as the interplay of genres, especially panegyric and the subgenres of drama, metaphor and psychology. Invaluable for all students of Byzantium.
