Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-23 00:00:00 Shawn Burks Interesting treatment of several major travel classics and especially the evolution of certain techniques of narrative and their contribution to the development of the novel. Especially thought the chapters on Mandeville and Marco Polo to be informative, as well as passages on Wonders of the East and Friar William.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-29 00:00:00 Lilia Batista This is a fundamental book in understanding Homer - who he was and his composition technique and how the stories are passed down to us.
