Paperback. Condizione: New. Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringThe epic is an ancient and universal form of artistic expression. Storytellers around the globe have long told of heroes who are touched by greatness and gain lasting fame.In this Very Short Introduction, Anthony Welch places the Western epic canon alongside traditional heroic poetry from Asia, Africa, and the Near East.

Ranging widely from Gilgamesh to Derek Walcotts Omeros, the author acquaints readers with some of the world's greatest literary works and asks why the epic holds such power over our imaginations.
