It stresses the role of performance and the performer in the re-creative process of composition-in-performance. It addresses questions of authority and authorship in the making of oral poetry, and it examines the efforts of ancient scholars to edit a definitive text of the \"real\" Homer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942318670112,"sku":"NEW0521558484","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/poetry-as-performance-homer-and-beyond-0521558484","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
