The Choice of Achilles: The Ideology of Figure in the Epic
Susanne Lindgren Wofford
This text examines the ways that Classical and Renaissance epic poems often work against their expressed moral and political values. It combines a formal and tropological analysis that stresses difference and disjunction with a political analysis of the epics figurative economy.
