Openings: Narrative Beginnings from the Epic to the Novel
Nuttall, A. D. (Professor of English Literature, Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford)
A study of the way poets and novelists begin their stories, ranging from Greek and Roman epic to the modern novel via Dante, Milton, Wordsworth, Sterne and Dickens - from Homer's plunging "in medias res" to the sense of a "deep", natural beginning of later writers.
