		The perspective not only of a member of the court but also a woman's view point makes this an interesting and exceptional view of the Crusaders, often describing them more realistically than some of the histories that were commissioned by the lords.
		The Alexiad is a great read both for the events described -- especially the emperor's battles of wits and might with a (from Anna's perspective) rogue's gallery of kingdoms and adventurers -- and for what the author reveals of herself, both overtly and unwittingly.
		By and large, Comnena is remarkably objective and a graceful writer, at least in this translation (where her occasional rambling asides are generally shifted into footnotes).

		Anna's Alexiad is a multi-volume epic history of her father, the emperor Alexios I, who ruled from 1081-1118.
		This paper seeks to address that neglect by analyzing rhetoric in Anna's Alexiad under three categories: her description of her own and others' rhetorical training, her valuing of rhetorical expertise in the subject of her history, and the rhetorical features of her style.
		Among the identities that Anna claims in references to her own life experience, her status as rhetorically trained intellectual and author is one she values highly.

		Anna Komnena is certainly prey to the prejudices of her rank and station in the Byzantine Empire, and her account is clearly intended as an elegy and panygeric to her adored father - the Emperor Alexios I Komnenos.
		Nevertheless, the Alexiad is also a closely detailed and informed account of a pivotal period in the history of medieval europe and the middle east.

	Alexiad - By: Anna Comnena - Christianbook.com
		Anna Comnena wrote The Alexiad as an account of the reign of her father, the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I. It is also an important source of information on the Byzantine war with the Normans, and on the First Crusade, in which Alexius participated.
		The Alexiad is a vivid and dramatic narrative, which reveals as much about the character of its intelligent and dynamic author as it does about the fascinating period through which she lived.
