Byzantine References in The Twyborn Affair
Abstract
Discusses the Byzantine references in the first section of The Twyborn Affair, dealing with the relationship of Eddie/Eudoxia and Angelos Vatatzes on the French Riviera early in 1914. Argues that these references 'throw light on the imprisoning and destructive nature of Eddie's relationship to Angelos and on the 'Orthodoxy' for which Angelos stands and in which Eddie/Eudoxia tries to find a place'.
