Homer's poems occupy, as Adam Nicolson writes "a third space" in the way we relate to the past: not as memory, which lasts no more than three generations, nor as the objective accounts of history, but as epic,...

Dale Bannister, the wild young poet, who commences by thoroughly scandalising Market Denborough, is a most...
