Gumpert (Program in Cultures, Civilizations, and Ideas at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey) looks at the myth of Helen in Greek poetry from the archaic to the classical period and in French writings, medieval to modern. Chapters are not organized chronologically but strategically, that is, how a particular present treats the past. Chapters on the ways Greeks treated history/Helen mostly earn the names of rhetorical strategies like mimesis, anamnesis, epideixis, and deixis, and the way the French look at history/Helen with strategies such as idolatry, translation, genealogy, cosmetics, etc.). As Gumpert writes, "What these chapters tell is a story about coveting the past, stealing it, and covering it up (the past and its theft). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
