| Tóm tắt/ chú giải | : | This volume collects and reprints many of Delbert R. Hillers's most important published essays and articles, his long out-of-print Treaty-Curses and the Old Testament Prophets, and three previously unpublished essays, including the aforementioned `'Poets Before Homer: Archaeology and the Western Literary Tradition`. Hillers gave the latter as the 1992 William Foxwell Albright Lecture at Johns Hopkins University and it uses Ernst Robert Curtius's European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages, with its `topological` method, as a model for exploring the connections of the most ancient Near Eastern literature (including the Bible) to later Western literature. Though one of his latest pieces of writing, `Poets Before Homer` represents, as Hillers himself recognized, a fairly clear statement of what he had been doing in much of his earlier scholarship and the volume collects the best of this earlier scholarship. Most of these essays work themselves out from a particular passage, theme, topos, image, or grammatical issue, and gain their interpretive vantage point by reading said passage, etc. comparatively, whether in light of relevant ancient Near Eastern and/or more recent European literary parallels or concerning some more theoretical interest, such as modern linguistic theory. Hillers's habit of mind ran toward the particular, toward the individual detail. His genius--if this word may be used--was in his capacity to seize upon one aspect of some larger entity, problem, or topic, to work it through, thoroughly and, as often as not, decisively, all the while resisting the temptation to take up the larger, perhaps un(re)solvable complex of which the detail or problem was but a part. The worked example is the Hillersian trademark--`exemplum followed by moralistic`--and Poets Before Homer collects all of his best. |
