Translating Brendan Kennelly's poetic prose: The Crooked Cross or the claustrophobic representation of a Classic-Irish Odyssey

Risultato della ricerca: Contributo in rivistaArticolo in rivista

Abstract

The aim of the essay is to show the presence of classical epic topoi in a novel by the contemporary Irish writer, Brendan Kennelly. In The Crooked Cross (1963), the microcosm of a typical Irish village with its oral tradition, its folkloric and legendary material, supplies a fertile soil of cultural, literary and stylistic interrelations suggesting an interesting underlying crosscultural communication.
