Recenzje

Virgilian scholarship has two traditional foci: the power of images created by the text (ecphrasis) and the subjective, emotional style of the narrative. In this brilliant book, Kirk Freudenburg has found a way to embrace them both. Epic and cinema, he argues, must enter a deeper dialogue: long before film, epic is a lab for visual effects and viewer participation
