Description

S.E. Bassett's classic work The Poetry of Homer investigates the rhetorical techniques that enable the Iliad and the Odyssey speak to both ancient and modern audiences. Somewhat neglected in the decades after its posthumous publication in 1938, it has become an immensely influential work and has left its mark on a generation of Classicists.

Author Biography:

Samuel Bassett was professor at the University of Vermont from 1905 to his death in 1936. Although he wrote extensively on Homer, The Poetry of Homer was his only book. Bruce Heiden, associate professor of Greek and Latin at Ohio State University, is the author of Tragic Rhetoric: An Interpretation of Sophocles' Trachiniae, as well as many articles on Homeric poetry.
