The literary epic and critical theories about the epic tradition are traced from Aristotle and Callimachus through Apollonius, Virgil and their successors such as Chaucer and Milton to Eisenstein, Tolstoy and Thomas Mann. Newman's revisionist critique should challenge all scholars, students and general readers of the classics, comparative literature and western literary traditions.
John Kevin Newman is professor emeritus of classics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a four-time medal winner for his original poems in Latin, and author of a number of books including Augustus and the New Poetry, Roman Catullus and the Modification of the Alexandrian Sensibility
