Dear listmember,

Please let me introduce to you Ancient Narrative (AN), a new journal  - the
zero issue appeared in December 2000 - devoted to the study of ancient
narrative in its broadest sense.

As the title indicates, the areas of interest to be covered are: Greek,
Roman, Jewish novelistic traditions, including novels proper, the "fringe",
as well as the fragments; early Christian narrative, narrative texts of the
Byzantine Age - and the reception of all these texts in modern literature,
film and music. AN encourages approaches which range from editorial and
philological work on these texts, and literary-theoretical studies, to
theological, sociological, cultural and anthropological approaches.

Issues of AN appear on the Internet three times a year; the address is
http://www.ancientnarrative.com. AN is also available in print; you will
find more information about the printed edition on our website and below.

Most of AN, including the abstracts of the articles and the reviews, is free
for all. In order to read the full text of the articles, however, you will
need a subscription.

SPECIAL ISSUE

We have recently published a special issue devoted to space in the ancient
novel. It contains several articles which might be of special interest to
the members of this list. One of them is by Judith Perkins, entitled "Social
Geography in the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles".

CALL FOR PAPERS

For the issues of winter 2002, and those of 2003, there is still room for
new contributions. Ancient Narrative is also planning a special volume to be
published in 2003 entitled "Bakhtin, the Russian Formalists and Ancient
Narrative". Your submission will be read by two members of the
editorial board, and, when judged positively, they will soon be published in
one of the forthcoming issues on the website.

Articles which have been in one of the electronic issues of AN will always
appear in the nearest in time annual printed volumes. Authors will receive
their electronic versions in return before the printed publication, and have
the opportunity to revise, profiting from possible reactions to their
electronic publications. Find everything on sending in submissions on the
Website of Ancient Narrative on http://www.ancientnarrative.com.

I have mailed this announcement to you with the permission of the
list-owners of B-GREEK. If you are interested in AN or want to comment on
this message, please do so off list (so do not use the reply button, but
mail the publisher at info at barkhuis.nl).
