Writer and Occasion in Twelfth-Century Byzantium: The Authorial Voice of Constantine Manasses
Nilsson, Ingela (Uppsala Universitet, Sweden)
This is the first comprehensive study of occasional writing in Byzantium, focusing on the literary output of Constantine Manasses. It argues that, although such works were commissioned by wealthy 'friends' to mark specific events, he and his fellow writers succeeded in developing a strong and individual authorial presence within them.
