Greene, Providence College in Bryn Mawr Classical Review This volume offers original and compelling treatments of the 'Greekness' of Greek narrative, and it is a provocative beginning to what promises to be a long and exciting conversation... Tradition and innovation meet in this collection, and most stimulating are those essays that combine methodologies, wedding formal analysis with literary interpretation... This is a valuable book, both for the quality of the individual essays and the scholarship that it is sure to generate. --Robin J. Greene, Providence College Bryn Mawr Classical Review This collection is unparalleled, whether as individual essays or as a whole. We could of course isolate this or that article according to personal interest, but the whole book is an exceptional opportunity to cross narrative Greek literature in all its genres, from Homer to Heliodorus, from epic to lyricism, to tragedy, to historiography and the novel, and to extend it towards the ancient Orient (Bible, Mesopotamia) and even Japan until modern times. The authors' reflections and arguments are of consistently high quality, and the bibliographic arsenal (especially Anglophone) is well supplied. (Translated from French) --Francoise Letoublon, University Grenoble Alpes (Emerita) Agora Author InformationDouglas Cairns is Professor of Classics at the University of Edinburgh. Ruth Scodel is D. R. Shackleton Bailey Collegiate Professor of Greek and Latin at the University of Michigan. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
