Winged Words: Flight in Poetry and HistoryUniversity of Chicago Press, 15.05.2007 - 262 Seiten Flight has always fascinated human minds, but until a century ago it remained a dream—the exclusive domain of birds, gods, and mythological heroes. From the myths of the ancients to the poetry of Pindar and Yeats, Winged Words traces the imprint of the human impulse to fly from premodern times to the age of terrorism in both literature and history. |
