Epic and Empire: Politics and Generic Form from Virgil to Milton
A rare thing, the book I intentionally leave off reading. I read the part that was useful to me -- pre-Socratic Greek modes of comparison, including Homeric and lyric metaphor. The rest I don't have time for right now! Lloyd's work here is very solid and much more convincing to me than his more recent excursions into comparative approaches with Greek and Chinese literature.
