The book presents new perspectives on Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Lucan, Valerius Flaccus and Statius, and covers the re-working of epic matter in tragedy, opera, film, late antique speeches of praise, story-boarding, sculpture and wall-painting. The chapters use a variety of methods to address the relationship between narrative and visuality, exploring how and why epic has inspired artists, authors and directors and offering fresh visual interpretations of epic texts. Themes and issues discussed include: intermediality, ekphrasis and panegyric, illusion and deception, imagery and deferral, alienation and involvement, the multiplicity of possible visual responses to texts, three-dimensionality, miniaturisation, epic as cultural capital, and the specificity of genres, both literary and visual. 606 $aEpic poetry, Greek$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEpic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArt and literature 606 $aCivilization, Ancient, in art 606 $aVisual perception in literature 606 $aImagery (Psychology) in literature 606 $aObject (Aesthetics) in literature 615 0$aEpic poetry, Greek$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEpic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArt and literature. 615 0$aCivilization, Ancient, in art. 615 0$aVisual perception in literature. 615 0$aImagery (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aObject (Aesthetics) in literature. 676 $a883/.0109 702 $aLovatt$b Helen$f1974- 702 $aVout$b Caroline 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459583803321 996 $aEpic visions$92465162 997 $aUNINA
