Deborah Beck argues that conversation should be considered a traditional Homeric type scene, alongside recognized types such as arrival, sacrifice, battle, and hospitality. Drawing on both linguistics and previous work on type scenes and oral aesthetics, the book describes the typical conversational patterns that characterize a range of situations, including one-on-one conversation, formal assemblies, battlefield encounters, and laments. Departures from these typical patterns for conversation provide the basis for a wide-ranging, closely argued aesthetic analysis of repetition and variation in the Homeric epics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Beck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674019628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674019621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.62h x 5.92w x 0.81d","brand":"Deborah Beck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096689189119,"sku":"9780674019621","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homeric-conversation-deborah-beck-9780674019621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
