The Ages of Homer: A Tribute to Emily Townsend… by Jane B. Carter
A wide-ranging and very interesting collection of essays in honor of Emily Vermeule (whose name originally alerted me to the existence of this book). Chronologically, it covers topics from the Mycenaean age to the Roman period, and deals with literary, artistic, and archaeological topics.
½This collection of essays in honor of Emily Vermeule is an invaluable source for the serious reader of Homer. A number of Homeric scholars contributed articles ranging in topic from archaeological to historical to literary. The book is divided into three parts: Homer and the Bronze Age: Memory and Archaeology, Homer and the Iron Age: History and Poetics, After Homer: Narrative and Representation. The articles cover such a wide variety of topics that this book provides a refreshing source to dip into for occasional reading over a long period of time. It makes a good bedside companion for the lover of Homer. For more articles and reviews about Homer and Troy go to www.judithstarkston.com… (more)
