基本説明
New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2003. Homeric narrative relies on a traditionalizing, inclusive rhetoric that denies the innovation of the oral performance while providing enough information to make the epics intelligible to audiences for whom much of the material is new.
Full Description
Discusses how ancient Greek bards ensured that their poetry would reach audiences of diverse backgrounds. Focusing on reception rather than on composition, this book argues that an audience would only rarely succeed in identifying narrative innovation.
