The Myth of Ulysses in European Literature

Производитель: "LAP Lambert Academic Publishing"

The present book is a research on the archetype of Ulysses, which originated in ancient Greece and was given a literary representation by Homer. Both as a literalised and literary myth in latter stages of its development, the archetype is handled in relation to the philosophical background of its age in a diachronical way. Starting from its Greek genesis, the archetype is analyzed in Italian literature in relation to Medieval tradition with Dante Alighieri s The Divine Comedy, in French literature, in relation to Renaissance tradition with Joachim Du Bellay s sonnets, in English literature, in relation to Victorian tradition with Alfred Lord Tennyson s Ulysses, and finally in modern Irish literature with James Joyce s Ulysses. These works of art are discussed in respect to the archetype s development in European literature and its references in the age s philosophical background. ISBN:9783659231940
