Known in numerous versions, many of them derived from the ancient Greek Alexander Romance, it was told and re-told throughout Europe, India, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The essays collected in 'Alexander the Great in the middle ages' examine these remarkable legends not merely as stories of conquest and discovery, but also as representations of otherness, migration, translation, cosmopolitanism, and diaspora. Alongside studies of the Alexander legend in medieval and early modern Latin, English, French, German, and Persian, Alexander the Great in the Middle Ages breaks new ground by examining rarer topics such as Hebrew Alexander romances, Coptic and Arabic Alexander materials, and early modern Malay versions of the Alexander legend. Brought together in this wide-ranging collection, these essays testify to the enduring fascination and transcultural adaptability of medieval stories about the extraordinary Macedonian leader. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79004067|vRomances|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001751|xHistory and criticism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001187|vCross-cultural studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001526 600 00 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79004067|xIn literature |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011414 |vCross-cultural studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001526 600 00 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79004067|xInfluence|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002005444|vCross- cultural studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh99001526 600 07 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1800513 650 0 Literature, Medieval|xHistory and criticism.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85077549 650 7 Literature, Medieval.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1000151 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Romances.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423856 655 7 Cross-cultural studies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1423769 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 Romances.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026517 700 1 Stock, Markus,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2002087845|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tAlexander the Great in the Middle Ages.
