Patterns of Time in VergilArchon Books, 1978 - 120 Seiten The theme, time in literature, fascinating and inexhaustible, invites study from various points of view. The subject has intrigued students of the novel, of course; it has also increasingly attracted those interested in earlier literatures. Vergil's poetry figures especially in two sorts of study: in works of a more or less anthropological nature devoted to exploring time and time-related ideas in various cultures or various authors, and in studies dealing with narrative technique, notably tense. -- Introduction. |
