So Near, Yet So Far: Medieval Courtly Romance, and Imberios and Margarona. A case of de-medievalization

Byzantinische Zeitschrift 99 (1):195-217 (2006)

Abstract

The romance Imberios and Margarona does not belong to the Renaissance. It does not acknowledge many of the issues which become current in the age of Humanism: the value of individual consciousness, to name but one, will wait until the seventeenth century to be explored in Greek literature. And yet, the vintage of Imberios is hybrid: being late medieval and modelled after a popular European prototype, it slants ever so gently towards what will later be fully fledged humanistic sensibilities.
