Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In The Epic Catalogue, Eva von Contzen offers the first sustained study of the catalogue as form in epic poetry, tracing its functions and meanings across medieval and early modern literature. Ever since the Catalogue of Ships in Homer's Iliad, catalogues have stood at the heart of epic poetry, yet…their status is paradoxical: canonical and indispensable for the genre of epic, but also resistant to narrative flow and therefore both a challenge and a nuisance to audiences. Moving from biblical epic and Milton's Paradise Lost to Beowulf and early English poetry, von Contzen presents four case studies that examine the catalogue's role in shaping poetic authority, readerly engagement, and the reception of classical models. Von Contzen's literary-historical approach bridges classical and vernacular traditions from early English to early modern poetry and sharpens our view of both continuities and ruptures in the epic tradition, challenging conventional narratives of classical reception. Bringing together formalist and cognitive literary methodologies, she argues that catalogues are not inert enumerations but dynamic cognitive forms that invite audiences to think differently about order, memory, and the status of epic itself.
