Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up--This accessible and logically arranged presentation offers students with eyes keen for adventure and hearts intent on intrigue an invitation to read classics such Beowulf and The Epic of Gilgamesh. It provides overviews of traditionally studied epics from around the world and across the centuries, including works from England, Finland, Greece, Italy, Mali, ancient Rome, and the West Indies. Alphabetically arranged by title, all of the entries include an introduction, a biography of the author (when possible), a plot summary, character analyses, a discussion of themes and style, a summary of the historical times, a critical overview, excerpts from essays by literary critics, suggested further readings, and thought-provoking study questions. The indexing is exquisite, offering author/title, nationality/ethnicity, and subject/theme options. Additional features include a thorough glossary of literary terms, a literary chronology, and suggested citation techniques. Black-and-white photos, maps, and illustrations appear throughout. An extremely useful choice for libraries.
