"A Companion to Byzantine Epistolography introduces and contextualizes the culture of Byzantine letter writing from various socio-historical, material and literary angles. While this culture was long regarded as an ivory-tower pastime of intellectual elites, the eighteen essays in this volume, authored by leading experts in the field, show that epistolography had a vital presence in many areas of Byzantine society, literature and art. The chapters offer discussions of different types of letters and intersections with non-epistolary genres, their social functions as media of communication and performance, their representations in visual and narrative genres, and their uses in modern scholarship. The volume thus contributes to a more nuanced understanding of letter writing in the Byzantine Empire and beyond"--

Dans une première partie, est examinée la place des correspondants de Mary Delany: membres de la famille, courtisans, artistes et gens de lettres. La deuxième partie cherche, ensuite, à cerner les principaux centres d'intérêt de Mary Delany, ses goûts, ses sources d'inquiétude, ses choix quotidiens. Cela permet de distinguer les différentes sphères dans lesquelles gravite une épistolière: elle est à la fois femme au foyer, femme du monde et femme de lettres. Enfin, son écriture est au centre de la troisième partie: le style épistolaire de Mary Delany s'avère être le résultat d'un travail de fond, qui révèle une certaine sensibilité littéraire. La confrontation de ses lettres avec ses autres récits, qui entrent inévitablement en interaction avec la correspondance, le confirme. Quel degré d'intimité transparaît dans ses missives? La plus grande qualité de la femme de lettres ne réside-t-elle pas dans son aptitude à donner l'illusion d'écrits intimes et personnels, tout en s'abritant - "à propos" oblige - derrière des règles établies?

The first reference to letter writing occurs in the first text of western literature, Homer's Iliad. From the very beginning, Greeks were enthusiastic letter writers, and letter writing became a distinct literary genre. Letters were included in the works of historians but they also formed the basis of works of fiction, and the formal substructure for many kinds of poem. Patricia Rosenmeyer, an authority on the history of the Greek letter, assembles in this book a representative selection of such 'literary letters', from Aelian and Alciphron to Philostrartus and the supposed letters
