6. The Ulysses Theme. A Study in the Adaptability of a Traditional Hero. By W. B. Stanford. With a new Foreword by Charles Boer.
by Stanford, W. B.: 
Price: USD 35.00
Dealer: ZVAB, Fundus-Online GbR Borkert Schwarz Zerfaß
Description: ISBN10: 0882143557, ISBN13: 9780882143552, [publisher: Spring Publications; Dallas] Softcover XXVI; 340 Seiten; 23 cm; kart. Gutes Exemplar; mit illustr. Einband. - Englisch. - . W.B. Stanford became a fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, where he lectured for many years. He is also the author of Ambiguity in Greek Literature and Ireland and the Classical Tradition. . / Oedipus still dominates the psychoanalytic imagination, though Ulysses is more central to Western tradition, from Homer to Joyce and Kazantzakis. Stanford's delightfully readable, and erudite, survey of the Ulysses figure revolutionizes conventional accounts of this Hero. For here is a Ulysses with closer ties to wife, mother, nymphs, and Goddesses than to his fellow warriors, a faithful husband who dallies with seductive enchantresses, a man of valor who wins by deceit — the Trojan Horse. Charles Boer brings the hero's wanderings up to the twenty-first century. His brilliantly challenging Foreword, "The Classicist and the Psychopath," examines the strange fascination of academics with Ulysses, exposing the peculiar prejudices that are hidden in classical scholarship. This book offers substance to contemporary reflections on manhood, comradeship, heroism, virtue, wandering, trickery, psychopathy, gender relations, father-son issues, and the intervention of the Gods.
