About
W. T. H. Jackson examines one of the consistent themes of the epic, the conflict between a hero and a king. His emphasis is on the essentially dramatic quality of the epic, while centering that drama on the conflict between a vigorous often younger intruder and a hard-pressed often older preserver of social order.
