Title :
The Pen and the Sword: Who Wrote the "Alexiad"? [the author examines the questions around Anna's authorship of the "Alexiad" and argues against the 1996 volume by James Howard-Johnston in which he maintained that Anna's husband, Nikephoros Bryennios, was the author because no woman would be able to write so knowledgeably about military campaigns].
