Vol. 4 No. 1 (2023): The Forms and Ways of Epic 2
The Forms and Ways of Epic 2

After five monographic issues, the seventh issue of «AOQU» is once again an open issue, that intentionally repeats the title Forms and ways of epic, with which the journal debuted. In its versatility, this issue shows the broad chronological and interdisciplinary spectrum that constitutes the focus and the aim of the journal, with excursions from classicism to the crest of the twentieth century. Among the thirteen essays is possible to recognize connections, constants, references, as if to reiterate the dense network of lines that run through the epic genre.
