Specifications
Thirty years after its first English edition (The Ritual Lament in Greek Tradition, Cambridge University Press, 1974), Margaret Alexiou's book remains the most thorough and discussed timeless yet simultaneously contemporary study of mourning in Greek tradition.
The continuous references in international literature to this work from its first appearance to the present outline its unique trajectory and establish it firmly in the field of classical, Byzantine, and modern Greek studies, as well as in Anthropology and Folklore.
Writing at a time when the study of oral literature was following new paths—mainly due to the contributions of Milman Parry and Albert Lord—while the humanities and social sciences were renewing their interest and theoretical tools for exploring the cultural manifestations of death, the author composes the first systematic interdisciplinary approach to ritual lament across the entirety of Greek tradition.
Her methodological orientations were significantly supported by her field research in Greece during the 1960s.
