"Byzantine literature is often regarded as little more than an agglomeration of stereotyped form and generic conventions which allow no scope for political thought or expression. Accordingly, histories of Byzatine literature tend to focus on the history of genres. The essays in this book challenge the traditional view. They attempt to show the coherence and individuality of not of genre but of author. By careful analysis of all the works of a given writer, regardless of genre, these studies aim to reach behaind the facade of convention, to discover not only biographical facts, but also the writer's own likes and dislikes, his social views, his political sympathies and antipathies,his ethical and aesthetic standards."(front flap). From the library of Swedish classical scholar Gertrud Lindberg.
