Description
Going back to Gilgamesh and Achilles as foundations for surveying centuries of protagonists we now call heroic, while synthesizing and modifying critical forerunners, this study reviews the patterns and the constituent elements of the literary hero both synchronically and diachronically, in order to trace changing figurations of the heroic ideal in Western literature, from texts of antiquity to modernism, and with particular emphasis on Anglo-American and French traditions.
