{"product_id":"homers-iliad-and-the-trojan-naoise-mac-sweeney-9781350012684","title":"Homer's Iliad and the Trojan War: Dialogues on Tradition","description":"In this new volume, Jan Haywood and Naoíse Mac Sweeney investigate the position of Homer's \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e within the wider Trojan War tradition through a series of detailed case studies. From ancient Mesopotamia to twenty-first century America, these examples are drawn from a range of historical and cultural contexts; and from Athenian pot paintings to twelfth-century German scholarship, they engage with a range of different media and genres.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInspired by the dialogues inherent in the process of reception, the book adopts a dialogic structure. In each chapter, paired essays by Haywood and Mac Sweeney offer contrasting authorial voices addressing a single theme, thereby drawing out connections and dissonances between a diverse suite of classical and post-classical Iliadic receptions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe resulting book offers new insights, both into individual instances of Iliadic reception in particular historical contexts, but also into the workings of a complex story tradition. The centrality of the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e within the wider Trojan War tradition is shown to be a function of conscious engagement not only with Iliadic content, but also with Iliadic status and the iconic idea of the Homeric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naoise Mac Sweeney,Jan Haywood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350012688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350012684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018","brand":"Naoise Mac Sweeney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425193902335,"sku":"9781350012684","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_209eb08d-1b07-4922-9070-32769063d3d5.jpg?v=1761537656","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homers-iliad-and-the-trojan-naoise-mac-sweeney-9781350012684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
