Description

Explore the deep connections between the modern novel and the epic tradition in this academic volume from Routledge. Part of the Transnational Perspectives on American Literature series, this book examines how the epic form has changed from ancient times through the works of James Joyce to its modern American forms. This study provides a detailed look at how contemporary American writers adapt these historical traditions. By analyzing the works of John Updike, Philip Roth, and Don DeLillo, the text explains how the epic tradition impacts current literature. It is an essential resource for readers interested in literary theory and the evolution of American fiction.
