Den poetischen Techniken der Klagerede in Homers Ilias wird hier erstmals eine eigene Untersuchung gewidmet. Die Klagerede ist, wie diese Arbeit nachweist, eine eigene Untergattung, die in der Ilias aus der Gattung der Grabrede hervorgegangen ist. Oralitätsforschung, Narratologie, Semiotik und rhetorische Analyse werden geschickt genutzt um zu untersuchen, auf welche Weise die persönlichen Klagen grundlegende ethische Themen entwickeln und Erzählfäden entwirren, die in das thematische Geflecht der ganzen Ilias (und ihres weiteren Zusammenhangs) eingesponnen sind: Achills Zorn, der Tod von Patroklos und Hektor, Achills Trauer und sein bevorstehender Tod, die Vorahnung von Trojas Zerstörung. Ausgezeichnet mit dem "Annual Award in Classics" (2007) der Akademie von Athen. This study of the gooi or personal laments in Homer´s Iliad once and for all articulates the poetic techniques regulating this type of speech. Going beyond the tendency to view lament as a repetitive and group-based activity, this work shows instead the primacy of the goos, a sub-genre which the Iliad has "produced" by absorbing the funerary genre of lament. Oral theory, narratology, semiotics, rhetorical analysis are deftly applied to explore the ways personal laments develop principal epic themes and unravel narrative threads weaving the thematical texture of the entire Iliad (and beyond): the wrath of Achilles, the deaths of Patroclus and Hector, the grief of Achilles and his future death, the foreshadowing of Troy´s destruction. Winner of the Annual Award in Classics (2007) of the Academy of Athens.

Called the "mother of beauty" by Wallace Stevens, death has been perhaps the favorite muse of modern poets. From Langston Hughes's lynch poems to Sylvia Plath's father elegies, modern poetry has tried to find a language of mourning in an age of mass death, religious doubt, and forgotten ritual. For this reason, Jahan Ramazani argues, the elegy, one of the most ancient of poetic genres, has remained one of the most vital to modern poets. Through subtle readings of elegies, self-elegies, war poems, and the blues, Ramazani greatly enriches our critical understanding of a wide range of poets, including Thomas Hardy, Wilfred Owen, Wallace Stevens, Langston Hughes, W. H. Auden, Sylvia Plath, and Seamus Heaney. He also interprets the signal contributions to the American family elegy of Robert Lowell, Allen Ginsberg, Anne Sexton, John Berryman, Adrienne Rich, Michael Harper, and Amy Clampitt. Finally, he suggests analogies between the elegy and other kinds of contemporary mourning art--in particular, the AIDS Memorial Quilt and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Grounded in genre theory and in the psychoanalysis of mourning, Ramazani's readings also draw on various historical, formal, and feminist critical approaches. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the psychology of mourning or the history of modern poetry. "Consists of full, intelligent and lucid exposition and close reading. . . . 'Poetry of Mourning' is itself a welcome contribution to modern poetry's search for a 'resonant yet credible vocabulary of grief in our time."--'Times Literary Supplement'
