A new issue of Ancient Narrative has been published.
INTRODUCTION
For those who are unfamiliar with this journal: Ancient Narrative (AN) is a
new journal - the zero issue was published in 2000 - devoted to the study of
ancient narrative in its broadest sense. As the title indicates, the areas
of interest to be covered are: Greek, Roman, Jewish novelistic traditions,
including novels proper, the "fringe", as well as the fragments; early
Christian narrative, narrative texts of the Byzantine Age - and the
reception of all these texts in modern literature, film and music. Issues of
AN appear on the Internet three times a year; the address is
www.ancientnarrative.com. AN is also available in print; you will
find more information about the printed edition on our website and below.
Most of AN, including the abstracts of the articles and the reviews, is free
for all. In order to read the full text of the articles, however, you will
need a subscription.
