Influences, and Narrative Strategies in the Epics of the Medieval East and West, Zoom and Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul, September 17–18, 2021
The workshop aims to bring together scholars working on the Digenis poem and related Byzantine genres (in particular vernacular poetry and novels) with specialists in both western and eastern medieval epics. We would like to invite you to discuss the character of these narratives and common problems and challenges for literary historians dealing with medieval epics.
