This book introduces new methods of research for studying the Alexiad, aiming primarily at analysing Anna Komnene's literary expression. The book's approach focuses mainly on the author, the subject, the structure and the inner stylistic features, as well as the genre itself. The result is a substantially new outlook on the main Byzantine historiographical work of the twelfth century. 505 0 Technē historikē -- Image of the ideal ruler -- Anna Komnene's Periautologia -- The pain of Niobe and cry of Electra -- Doukai : construction of an alternative political discourse -- Komnenian Philia. 600 10 Comnena, Anna, |d1083- |tAlexiad. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80008549 600 10 Comnena, Anna, |d1083- |tAlexiad |xCriticism, Textual. 650 0 Historians |zByzantine Empire. 651 0 Byzantine Empire |xHistoriography. 630 07 Alexiad (Comnena, Anna) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01366101 650 7 Historians. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00957686 650 7 Historiography. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958221 651 7 Byzantine Empire. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01209292 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 Central European medieval studies ; |v5. 902 ded |bm |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20200715 904 nk |bo |hm |cb |e20191217 914 (OCoLC)on1019660499 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f1019660499
