Homeric Composition Beyond the Hexameter
Authors
More about the book
Focusing on Homeric composition, this work introduces a new theory that examines enjambment and its role in poetic structure. Matthew Clark distinguishes between 'deep-structure' and 'surface-structure' analyses, exploring word associations prior to metrical form and their specific usage in context. By integrating formulaic and metrical analysis, the book expands the understanding of Homeric meter, considering larger compositional elements like entire scenes. It serves as a significant resource for students and scholars interested in Homer, epic poetry, and oral literature.
