Book Synopsis The Shield of Achilles and the Poetics of Ekphrasis by : Andrew Sprague Becker
Book excerpt: In The Shield of Achilles and the Poetics of Ekphrasis, Becker explores how Homeric poetry shapes its own reception: how Homer's reaction to a visual image creates his audience's response to a literary description. Becker also enters into a fiercely raging literary debate about the modernist, self-conscious elements of Homeric narrative.
