Description - Theophylact of Ochrid: Reading the Letters of a Byzantine Archbishop by Margaret Mullett

This volume is as a result of the reading of the letter collection of Theophylacht of Ochrid, Archbishop of Bulgaria. The letters have been previously studied from an historical point of view, but in this volume the author concentrates on the letters as examples of Byzantine literature. The book attempts to place an epistolary text in a succession of literary and historical contexts, as well as to prove the reliability of any rhetorical text for straightforward biography. In addition, an analysis is also made of the personal networks of Theophylacht.
