Produktinformationen zu „Homer in the Twentieth Century / Classical Presences (ePub)“
This collection of essays explores the crucial place of Homer in the shifting cultural landscape of the twentieth century.

Blues. The book contributes to current debates about the nature of the Western literary canon, the evolving notion of world literature, the relationship between orality and the written word, and the dialogue between texts across time and space. Homer in the Twentieth Century contends that the Homeric
poems play an important role in shaping those debates and, conversely, that the experiences of the twentieth century open new avenues for the interpretation of Homer's much-travelled texts.
