Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Writing on command and for specific occasions is a key characteristic of medieval literature across various cultures. Textual genesis was often triggered by the sponsorship of a patron. Patronage thus gave rise to a wide range of texts, such as court poetry, orations, long narratives or didactic works, and this resulted in dynamic and multi-layered ties between authors and patrons. Commissioned texts could function as self-promotion of both commissioner and author. Such extratextual aims shaped not only the content, form and language of medieval literature, but also its aesthetics and functions. This lecture course aims to offer an introduction to the prominent role of literary patronage in a premodern society by taking as example the case of Byzantium and its rich textual production from the time of Late Antiquity to the 15th century.
