“This book is part of a trend in Akkadian studies toward the adoption of new literary approaches. B.’s literary analysis is a welcome addition to the work done by D. Charpin, B. Pongratz-Leisten, H. Vanstiphout, and S. Wisnom, among others.”

This study investigates inter-, hyper- and architextual (or “transtextual”) poetics within the corpus of Assyrian royal narrative texts. The first section outlines a method of transtextual analysis tailored to the Assyrian texts, using a structural analytical methodology developed on the basis of pertinent modern theories. The second section of the book analyzes genre formation in the Old and Middle Assyrian periods in light of Gérard Genette’s theory of architextuality. Two detailed Neo-Assyrian case studies in the final section complete the work.
