This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary collection explores different ways of visualising Greek and Roman epic from Homer to Statius, in both ancient and modern culture. 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.

Die Studie versucht zwei von ihren methodologischen Voraussetzungen her unvereinbare Interessen - ein diskursanalytisches und ein hermeneutisches - produktiv zu verbinden. Sie untersucht Wechselwirkungen zwischen literarischen Sinnbildungsverfahren und dem Wahrnehmungsdiskurs, und zwar am Beispiel von Friedrich Schillers »Geisterseher«, Georg Büchners »Leonce und Lena«, Wilhelm Raabes »Chronik der Sperlingsgasse«, Stanislaw Przybyszewskis »Totenmesse«, Robert Musils »Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törleß« und Franz Kafkas »Proceß«. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie die Texte in Diskursfelder eingelassen sind, in physikalische und medientechnische (optische Medien, Aufzeichnungs- und Wiedergabeverfahren), medizinische (Starstechen, Sehfehlerkorrekturen), psychologische (Nachbilder, Leseprozesse, visuelle Aufmerksamkeitslenkung), philosophische und kunstgeschichtliche (Wahrnehmungskonzept der Aufklärung, romantisches "Sehen", Realismuskonzepte, visuelle "Wirklichkeit", Konstruktivismus), inwiefern sie von dieser Teilhabe am Wahrnehmungsdiskurs ästhetisch profitieren und inwiefern sie an der Konstitution und Transformation dieser Diskursfelder beteiligt sind. Den Abschluß der Arbeit bildet der Versuch einer Systematisierung der Formen wechselseitiger Durchdringung von Diskurs und Literatur.

Why are early modern English dramatists preoccupied with unfinished processes of 'making' and 'unmaking'? And what did the terms 'finished' or 'incomplete' mean for dramatists and their audiences in this period? Making and unmaking in early modern English drama is about the significance of visual things that are 'under construction' in works by playwrights including Shakespeare, Robert Greene and John Lyly. Illustrated with examples from across visual and material culture, it opens up new interpretations of the place of aesthetic form in the early modern imagination. Plays are explored as a part of a lively post-Reformation visual culture, alongside a diverse range of contexts and themes, including iconoclasm, painting, sculpture, clothing and jewellery, automata and invisibility. Asking what it meant for Shakespeare and his contemporaries to 'begin' or 'end' a literary or visual work, this book is essential reading for scholars and students of early modern English drama, literature, visual culture and history.
