Описание: A comparative study of two classicliterary works, from a specialist in Joyce and HomerTime and Identity in“Ulysses” and the “Odyssey” offers a unique in-depth comparative study oftwo classic literary works, examiningessential themes such as change, the self, and humans’ dependence on andisolation from others. Stephanie Nelson shows that in these texts, both Joyceand Homer address identity by looking at the paradox of time—that people areconstantly changing yet remain the same across the years. In Nelson’s analysis, both Ulyssesand the Odyssey explore dichotomiessuch as the permanence of names and shifting of stories, independence andconnection, and linear and cyclical narrative. Nelson discusses Homer’scontrast of ordinary to mythic time alongside Joyce’s contrast of “clocktime”to experienced time. She analyzes the characters Odysseus and Leopold Bloom,alienated from their previous selves; Telemachus and Stephen Dedalus, trappedby the past; and Penelope and Molly Bloom, able to recast time through weaving,storytelling, and memory. These concepts are also explored through Joyce’sradically different narrative styles and Homer’s timeless world of the gods.Nelson’s thoroughknowledge of ancient Greece, Joyce, narratology, oral tradition, andtranslation results in a volume that speaks across literary specializations. Thisbook makes the case that Ulysses andthe Odyssey should be read togetherand that each work highlights and clarifies aspects of the other. As Joyce’s charactersare portrayed as both flux and fixity, readers will see Homer’s hero fight hisway out of myth and back into the constant changes of human existence.

Описание:

One of the special charms of the Odyssey, according to Charles Segal, is the way it transports readers to fascinating places. Yet despite the appeal of its narrative, the Odyssey is fully understood only when its style, design, and mythical patterns are taken into account as well. Bringing a new richness to interpretation of this epic, Segal looks closely at key forms of social and personal organization which Odysseus encounters in his voyages. Segal also considers such topics as the relationship between bard and audience, the implications of the Odyssey's self-consciousness about its own poetics, and Homer's treatment of the nature of poetry.
