dc.description | This article presents a case study on sound effects in Christopher Logue's adaptation of Homer's Iliad, a project that began when Logue adapted Achilles' fight with the river Scamander from book 21 of the Iliad for BBC radio in 1959. Logue's Homer has been worked, performed, and reworked for almost fifty years (1959-2005). Albeit the result of accident rather than design, the prolonged time-span for publication has produced a complex publication history, with Logue's Homer poems circulating in different print versions and simultaneously existing as audio recordings (both on LP and CD) and live performances. Within the poems themselves, the stress on sound and music suggest that these performances should inform the meaning of the printed text, leading to a complex interdependence between the written and spoken word.1 | eng |
