Chronicle meaning

A distinct form of the chronicle is the rhymed chronicle, a historical narrative (partly) in rhymed form. The genre had a flowering from the twelfth to the fifteenth century, after which it was replaced by historiography in prose with more scientific pretensions. Well-known authors of rhymed chronicles are Jan van Heelu (Yeeste van den slag van Woeringen, end of the thirteenth century), Jan van Boendale (beginning of the fourteenth century) and Melis Stoke (Rijmkroniek van Holland, fourteenth century). Jacob Van Maerlant’s Spiegel historiael (thirteenth century) is also considered a rhyme chronicle, although there the fantastic element is more prominent.

From the Fall of Constantinople to Greek independence, there is no longer a Greek state in Eastern Europe. However, a Greek people still exist, kept culturally estranged within the Ottoman Empire. The products of Greek literature are therefore very uneven. As a whole, Greek literature during this period, both in its traditional genres and in those that are more in line with the Western European of the 17th and 18th centuries, is a literature of an oppressed minority, which has to defend itself and thus idealizes its past, and tries to maintain, to the extent possible, a civilization that has become only a vague memory.
After World War I, Greece increasingly integrated itself into the major European literary and aesthetic movements. The Greek novel discovered the problems of the European (Proust, Joyce, Kafka, etc.). In the same period, the theater and literary criticism developed.
The contemporary tendencies confirmed unity and national feeling on the one hand, but also the ideological conflicts that divided Greece after World War II. The military dictatorship (1967-1973) was a crisis period for Greek literature: many writers were censored, books and literary journals were banned, and the lively dimotiki language was temporarily supplanted by the rigidified scholarly language: (katharévousa).

Medieval historian chronicles

The recording of historical events, accurately noted and in strict chronological order. The distinction from annals-1 is not exact: one can say that in annals the facts are written down more analytically, whereas in the chronicle one tries to reach a certain synthesis and usually describes a longer period.  At the basis of the genre is the chronicle of the first church historian, Eusebius of Caesarea: a collection of synchronistic tables from the birth of Abraham to the year 324 A.D., the Chronikoi kanones which became known in the Latin translation and adaptation of Hieronymus. The purpose of this chronicle was to align classical timekeeping with that of the Bible. Another important ancient chronicle is the Chronographia (3rd century AD) of Sextus Julius Africanus which describes the history of mankind from its creation.
From the 11th century, chronicles were written mainly in monasteries. The subjects became more limited: the history of a monastery, a bishopric, or a secular dynasty. The (largely fabricated) Historia Regum Brittaniae (12th century) by Geoffrey of Monmouth played an important role in the rise and development of the Arthurepic (gesta). From the 13th to the 15th century, chronicles are written in the vernacular, first in paired rhyming verse (rhyme chronicle), later also in prose. They acquire more and more literary status. Examples are the Chroniques (14th century) by J. Froisart and the Chronique (15th century) by G. Chastellain, both of which only cover a period of a few decades. Dutch-language examples are Jacob van Maerlant’s Spiegel historiael (13th century) and Melis Stoke’s Rijmkroniek van Holland (14th century).
