Beschreibung:
This book is the first line-by-line analysis of enjambement and verse-internal breaks throughout the entire Iliad. Addressing larger, stylistic questions concerning genre, effect, and the manipulation and enjambing of formulae, Higbie examines a wide range of literary structures, including speeches, similes, battle scenes, and catalogues. A fundamental and thorough examination of enjambement in Homeric verse, this work will become a standard reference for scholars and students of Homer.
The foundation of this book is a line-by-line analysis of the "Iliad" with regard not only to enjambement but also to verse-internal breaks. The study presents analyses on the entire poem rather than a selection of verses.
The study of Homeric enjambement; the relationship between verses; interpreting the statistics; verse-internal boundaries; formulae and enjambement; the construction of Iliad.
