Through comparison and contrast, intertextual analysis and close examination, the boundaries of the dichotomy between the “fringe” vs. the “canonical” or “erotic” novel are explored, and so the generic identity of the texts in each group is more clearly outlined. The collective outcome brings the “fringe” from the periphery of scholarly research to the centre of critical attention, and provides methodological tools for the exploration of other “fringe” texts.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum ;310.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum.Monographs on Greek and Roman language and literature.Greek fictionHistory and criticismByzantine fictionHistory and criticismGreek fictionHistory and criticism.Byzantine fictionHistory and criticism.883/.0209Karla Grammatiki A1123272MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817480903321Fiction on the fringe2653299UNINA
