Title: Recursive desire
First published: 1997
Description: Recursive Desire rereads epic tradition and specific epic poems in ways that challenge traditional notions of the genre and open up unexplored fields of endeavor to students of epic, of poetry, and of narrative. With its more powerful and comprehensive psychological model of poetic relations, the book provides readers with a new understanding of epic poetry and its vital, shifting, polyvocal array - and disarray - of textual forces.
Subjects: Epic literature, Desire in literature, History and criticism, Epik, Geschichte, Liebe, Tod, Epic literature, history and criticism
