    Epic was the master-genre of the ancient world: it was central to group identity, education, literature, and culture. Yet modern understanding of ancient epic is not static, and scholarship over the last few decades has transformed the ways that we conceive of and understand the genre, introducing topics such as the role of women, the history of reception, and comparison with living analogues from oral tradition. A Companion to Ancient Epic presents for the first time a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of ancient Near Eastern, Greek, and Roman epic. It offers a multidisciplinary discussion of both long-standing ideas and newer perspectives. A key feature of the volume, designed to make the book as useful as possible, is the index of poems, poets, technical terms, important figures, and other relevant literary and artistic works. The Companion will be required reading for all students of ancient literature Introduction / John Miles Foley -- Epic as genre / Richard P. Martin -- The Indo-European context / Joshua T. Katz -- Epic and myth / Lowell Edmunds -- Performance / Minna Skafte Jensen -- Epic and history / Kurt A.

    Modernist epic is more interesting and more diverse than we have supposed. As a radical form of national fiction it appeared in many parts of the world in the early twentieth century. Reading a selection of works from the United States, England, Ireland, Czechoslovakia, and Brazil, 'The Evolutions of Modernist Epic' develops a comparative theory of this genre and its global development. That development was, it argues, bound up with new ideas about biological evolution.

    Epic Ambitions in Modern Times seeks neither to be a comprehensive history of the modern epic nor to construct a theoretical framework for understanding how epics work. Its twelve chapters range from a consideration of the final books of Paradise Lost to an assessment of a quartet of twenty-first-century women writers who have retold the ancient epics in the form of novels voiced by marginal characters in the original poems. Between those goalposts the book takes up epic in the forms of an epistolary novel, a work of history, a poetic autobiography, an opera, a silent film, a series of paintings, two literary fantasies, three long poems set in science-fictional futures, and a play.

    The book explores how artists in the past three centuries, working in varied forms and media, have aimed for, in Milton's phrase, 'things unattempted yet' in epic creation. The ambition of artists to produce epic and the persistent desire of audiences for epic experience constitute the alternating current that stimulates the analysis of the representative selection of modern epics.
