Homer-Haunted by Henry Power | 'a brilliantly told story of Homer-obsessives through the ages' - Frank Skinner | 'rich and beautiful and strange' - Rory Stewart | 'an endlessly generous book' Daisy Hay

Reviewing poetic works where Homer’s stories have taken root by writers including George Chapman, Alexander Pope, John Keats, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Derek Walcott and Alice Oswald.

English literature professor Power explores how and why Homer’s sto
ries and heroes have shaped the way poets read, write and think, ever since they were first sung thousands of years ago, by a poet who may never have actually existed.
