Editorial Reviews

Review

"… an immensely valuable addition to the scholarship on this twelfth-century epic, providing important analysis of Anna’s work as a piece of literature. Buckley’s achievement is to produce a thought-provoking and well-written literary analysis that will surely stimulate further debate on how modern scholars view Anna as an author."
Elisabeth Mincin, Reviews in History

Book Description

A critical appraisal of the literary art of a great Byzantine text by the first woman historian, Anna Komnene.
