Ingela Nilsson
Ingela Nilsson obtained her PhD from the University of Gothenburg in 2001 and is now (as of 2010) Professor of Greek, specialising in Byzantine Greek, at Uppsala University. Nilsson’s main research interests concern all forms of narration and literary adaptation, and the tension that such procedures create between tradition and innovation. Her focus has been mainly on the twelfth century and the links between ancient Greek and Byzantine literature in that period. Such perspectives are at the center of her dissertation, as well as in a recent anthology in which narratological and intertextual problems such as literary imitation, genre and poetics are of particular interest (Plotting with Eros: Essays on the Poetics of Love and the Erotics of Reading, Copenhagen 2009). She is currently working on questions of narrative poetics and literary networks in twelfth-century Byzantium.
