Stealing the Club from Hercules
In the first part of this volume on the literary technique of imitation, the author analyses Virgil's working over the text of Homer which paradoxically represents a true act of artistic originality. In the second chapter, the author reconstructs the presuppositions of a method and explores at the same time its limitations.
Gian Biagio Conte, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy.
"The work presents a well-balanced structure and a clearly defined goal [...] the case made by this little book sheds a new light on the author's previous scholarship on the topic, considering the developments in literary theory after the publication of his contribution in 1974. The texts that Conte uses to validate his arguments are carefully selected, and make his case cogent, not least thanks to his unrivalled philological sharpness and analytical skills."
