Das Buch bietet eine gut lesbare und methodisch aktuelle Einführung in die Heldendichtung der germanischsprachigen Literaturen des Mittelalters, von ihren Anfängen im 8. Jahrhundert bis zu ihrem Ausklang im 16. Jahrhundert. Im Gegensatz zu früheren Einführungen dieser Art wird hier nicht stoffgeschichtlich vorgegangen. Im Zentrum stehen vielmehr die Texte selbst, die nach chronologischen und geographischen Kriterien gruppiert und einzeln vorgestellt und besprochen werden. Es soll dadurch das sich wandelnde Interesse in den Vordergrund treten, dass man in je unterschiedlichen chronologischen, geographischen und kulturellen Kontexten an die alten Geschichten herangetragen hat. Auch die vielfältigen Formen (kurzes Lied, großes Epos, Prosa-Saga, Ballade und Fastnachtsspiel) werden nach ihrer Funktion und Bedeutung befragt und sogar die Überlieferungstypen und -kontexte werden als Spuren eines sich wandelnden Rezeptionsverhaltens betrachtet. Die einzelnen Kapitel enthalten eine Zusammenfassung der jeweiligen Texte, die wichtigste Information zur Überlieferung, Datierung und Lokalisierung sowie eine mehr oder weniger eingehende Besprechung. Am Ende steht immer eine ausgewählte und kommentierte Literaturliste.

Playing the Farmer reinvigorates our understanding of Vergil's Georgics, a vibrant work written by Rome's premier epic poet shortly before he began the Aeneid. Setting the Georgics in the social context of its day, Philip Thibodeau for the first time connects the poem's idyllic, and idealized, portrait of rustic life and agriculture with changing attitudes toward the countryside in late Republican and early Imperial Rome. He argues that what has been seen as a straightforward poem about agriculture is in fact an enchanting work of fantasy that elevated, and sometimes whitewashed, the realities of country life. Drawing from a wide range of sources, Thibodeau shows how Vergil's poem reshaped agrarian ideals in its own time, and how it influenced Roman poets, philosophers, agronomists, and orators. Playing the Farmer brings a fresh perspective to a work that was praised by Dryden as "the best poem by the best poet."

Homer the Preclassic considers the development of the Homeric poems-in particular the Iliad and Odyssey-during the time when they were still part of the oral tradition. Gregory Nagy traces the evolution of rival "Homers" and the different versions of Homeric poetry in this pretextual period, reconstructed over a time frame extending back from the sixth century BCE to the Bronze Age. Accurate in their linguistic detail and surprising in their implications, Nagy's insights conjure the Greeks' nostalgia for the imagined "epic space" of Troy and for the resonances and distortions this mythic past provided to the various Greek constituencies for whom the Homeric poems were so central and definitive.
