    Narrator ? Hero ? Author in the Spiritually Beneficial Tales

  • Original language description

    The spiritually beneficial tales (or edifying stories) have often been regarded as a simple and unsophisticated genre. They were closely connected to the folklore and the monastic environment predominantly rejecting the ancient literary tradition. In addition they largely included uncomplicated plots, while their style remained rather unsophisticated. Due to such features, these stories were never subjected to any metaphrastic attempts to "improve" their stylistic qualities. However, at a closer examination, their narrative structure reveals a surprising number of complex elements and different techniques in the composition of both particular tales as well as of whole collections. Thus, one of the most interesting aspects of edifying stories is the construction of the narrator's identity, in particular his relation with the heroes of the stories on the one hand and with the author (implied or real) on the other hand.
