Abstract

This narrative aspect is missing in M's analyses, and I believe that it would I actually i strengthen the conclusion had he taken the plots of the I kontakia i into consideration and not just the instances where the word compunction is used. The chapter on Andrew of Crete's Great Kanon, a hymn consisting of no fewer than 250 stanzas, necessarily has to choose which stanzas to present in the analysis, but the excerpts are surprisingly few. To my mind, the analyses of the I kontakia i of Romanos would have benefited from a close reading of a few kontakia I in toto i , including such devices as plot and dialogue, and making occasional references to other I kontakia i as appropriate.
