Homer, The Odyssey. Translated and Edited by Emily Wilson. Norton Critical Edition, 2020.
Beowulf: A Verse Translation. Translated by Seamus Heaney, edited by Daniel Donoghue. Second Norton Critical Edition, 2019
Describe a physical location from Beowulf and one from the Odyssey that is space for one character, and place for another. What kinds of details help you understand that the two characters see or treat this location differently? How are the two epics similar in the ways such conflict is established and/or worked out? How are they different? Reference Buell’s chapter on “space, place, and non-place” in your answer.
