Rather than focusing on the relationship between story and reality, it asks what literary choices authors made in depicting their heroes and heroines: how they positioned the narrator, how they responded to existing texts, how they utilised or transcended genre conventions for their own purposes, and how they sought to relate to their audiences. The literary focus of the chapters assembled here showcases the diversity of hagiographical texts written in Greek, Latin, Coptic, and Syriac, as well as pointing out the ongoing conversations that connect them. By asking these questions of this diverse group of texts, it illuminates the literary development of hagiography in the late antique, Byzantine, and medieval periods". 410 0$aSupplements to Vigiliae Christianae ;$vVolume 158. 606 $aChristian hagiography$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChristian hagiography$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a229.925 702 $aGray$b Christa$f1982- 702 $aCorke-Webster$b James 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795278503321 996 $aThe hagiographical experiment$93733992 997 $aUNINA
