- 'Untimely Epic' focuses on how Apollonius’ Argonautica shapes readers’ sense of themselves as subjects in time. The book’s methodological originality lies in combining close attention to literary form with a capacious notion, informed by the phenomenological tradition, of how such form can represent, produce, and inflect experience. This approach changes the terms on which Apollonius’ poetics are considered by moving beyond the concerns with learned metapoetics that have characterized scholarly debate, and by developing a more sophisticated picture of the Argonautica’s ethical significance. The book also proposes numerous new intertextual links, and elaborates fresh interpretations of previously observed connections.
