Dentith, Simon (University of Gloucestershire)
Epic poetry in the Homeric style was widely seen as an ancient and anachronistic genre, yet Victorian authors worked to recreate it for the modern world. Simon Dentith explores the relationship between epic and the British national identity in the works of Scott, Arnold, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Morris and Kipling.
