More about the book

Focusing on enjambment, the book introduces a new theory of Homeric composition that explores patterns beyond traditional line boundaries. Matthew Clark distinguishes between "deep-structure" and "surface-structure" analysis, examining how words and ideas associate before and during metrical formation. By integrating formulaic and metrical analysis, it expands the study of Homeric meter to encompass larger compositional elements, making it a significant resource for students and scholars of Homer, epic, and oral literature.
