This book is a must-read-not just for classicists but for anyone who wants a master class in recent theories of identification and immersion. * Rita Felski, John Stewart Bryan Professor University of Virginia * Warmly recommended for its exciting-and productive-new insights into the reader's experience of a storyworld: this is an important contribution to literary studies, ancient and modern. * Elizabeth Minchin, FAHA, Emeritus Professor of Classics, The Australian National University * Ready offers an extremely nuanced and detailed examination of how identification and immersion work, drawing on the latest research from across narrative studies... By pointing out the criteria for (or features that facilitate) identification and immersion in a range of Iliadic passages, Ready shows not only that the Iliad is immersive but also how the poem encourages such strong engagement. * Lilah Grace Canevaro, Greece and Rome *
