Summary

This chapter argues that hagiography develops in two distinct directions after the capture of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204, especially after the restoration of the empire by the Palaiologans in 1261. One strand of hagiography in this period more or less faithfully reproduces their earlier hagiographic texts, a practice which has generally been understood as a way of preserving some important aspects of Byzantine culture lost during the Latin invasion. But a second stream of writing about contemporary saints reflects the critical situation of the empire in the face of aggression by both Turks and Westerners as well as the internal strife which was a constant feature of the Palaiologan perid. The influence of the romance as a genre – its style, conventions and tropes – are much more evident in this second strand of new hagiographic writing. A close analysis of both romances and hagiographies reveals the conflict between generic blending of the genres alongside the hagiographers’ self-conscious distancing of their traditionally Byzantine and sectarian work the contemporary romance, a genre which was the result of an increasingly secular and urban occidentalized society.
