"I would recommend this volume both for scholars of epic and heroic literature (especially if they have interests in comparative literature or in questions of orality and historicity), who will no doubt enjoy its generally succinct essays with pertinent bibliography for each tradition." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 9 February 2011) "Essential. Graduate students and researchers." (Choice, October 2010) "A remarkably wide-ranging collection, deeply learned,ecumenical in spirit, and diverse in its approaches." Martin Mueller, Northwestern University "This book is an 'epic' undertaking in its ownright, extending across four millennia in time, and most of theglobe in setting. The challenging mosaic of studies takesshape as an exploratory chart of how memory, story-telling and thedesire for heroes may relate to what we might want to call'History.'" Oliver Taplin, Magdalen College, Oxford University "Answers come and go. Questions persist. One of the manyvirtues of this volume of collected essays is its ability tore-open some fundamental discussions about epic, history, genre,and memory. It does so in a sophisticated, learned, and wideranging manner. This book problematizes the relationships betweenliterary form, fact, and tradition in a way that will inform andexcite scholars in many fields for many years."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
