This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Epic, the World's Great Epics Told in Story Every now and then in our reading we come suddenly face to face with first things - the very elemental sources beyond which no man may go. There is a distinct satis faction in dealing with such beginnings, and, when they are those of literature, the sense of freshness is nothing short of inspiring. To share the same lofty outlook, to breathe the same high air with those who first sensed a whole era of creative thoughts, is the next thing to being the gods' chosen medium for those prima expressions. All this is not to say that the epic is the oldest form of literary expression, but it is the expression of the oldest literary ideas, for, even when the epic is not at all primitive in form, it deals essentially with elemental moods and ideals. Epical poetry is poetic not because it is metrical and conformative to rhythmical standards, - though it usually is both, - but it is poetry because of the high sweep of its emotional outlook, the bigness of its thought, the untamed passion of its language, and the musical flow of its utterance. Here, then, we have a veritable source book of the oldest ideas of the race; but not only that - we are also led into the penetralia of the earliest thought of many separate nations, for when the epic is national, it is true to the earliest genius of the people whose spirit it depicts.

Download or read book The Epic Film written by Derek Elley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Charlton Heston put it: ‘There’s a temptingly simple definition of the epic film: it’s the easiest kind of picture to make badly.’ This book goes beyond that definition to show how the film epic has taken up one of the most ancient art-forms and propelled it into the modern world, covered in twentieth-century ambitions, anxieties, hopes and fantasies. This survey of historical epic films dealing with periods up to the end of the Dark Ages looks at epic form and discusses the films by historical period, showing how the cinema reworks history for the changing needs of its audience, much as the ancient mythographers did. The form’s main aim has always been to entertain, and Derek Elley reminds us of the glee with which many epic films have worn their label, and of the sheer fun of the genre. He shows the many levels on which these films can work, from the most popular to the specialist, each providing a considerable source of enjoyment. For instance, spectacle, the genre’s most characteristic trademark, is merely the cinema’s own transformation of the literary epic’s taste for the grandiose. Dramatically it can serve many purposes: as a resolution of personal tensions (the chariot race in Ben-Hur), of monotheism vs idolatry (Solomon and Sheba), or of the triumph of a religious code (The Ten Commandments). Although to many people Epic equals Hollywood, throughout the book Elley stresses debt to the Italian epics, which often explored areas of history with which Hollywood could never have found sympathy.

Book excerpt: 'The Epic' by Lascelles Abercrombie is an exploration of the nature and significance of epic poetry. Stepping away from sociological and archaeological angles, this thought-provoking essay focuses on the literary essence of epics. Abercrombie acknowledges the contributions of scholars like Gilbert Murray and Andrew Lang while emphasizing the distinction between a literary and scientific approach to epics. Drawing insights from Mr. Chadwick's 'The Heroic Age' and Mr. Macneile Dixon's 'English Epic and Heroic Poetry', Abercrombie delves into the origins and evolution of epic poetry, presenting it as a continuous artistic development. From the beginnings to the era after Milton, this compelling analysis offers a fresh perspective on the enduring power and significance of epic literature.

Download or read book The Epic Hero written by Dean A. Miller and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2000-03-02 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Odysseus to Aeneas, from Beowulf to King Arthur, from the Mahâbhârata to the Ossetian "Nart" tales, epic heroes and their stories have symbolized the power of the human imagination. Drawing on diverse disciplines including classics, anthropology, psychology, and literary studies, this product of twenty years' scholarship provides a detailed typology of the hero in Western myth: birth, parentage, familial ties, sexuality, character, deeds, death, and afterlife. Dean A. Miller examines the place of the hero in the physical world (wilderness, castle, prison cell) and in society (among monarchs, fools, shamans, rivals, and gods). He looks at the hero in battle and quest; at his political status; and at his relationship to established religion. The book spans Western epic traditions, including Greek, Roman, Nordic, and Celtic, as well as the Indian and Persian legacies. A large section of the book also examines the figures who modify or accompany the hero: partners, helpers (animals and sometimes monsters), foes, foils, and even antitypes. The Epic Hero provides a comprehensive and provocative guide to epic heroes, and to the richly imaginative tales they inhabit.
