PhD Thesis

In April 2010 I was appointed as a PhD-student in an exciting new project funded by NWO: Ancient War Narrative. A combined discourse-linguistic and narratological approach. This project, led by Caroline Kroon (VU) and Irene de Jong (UvA), aims at combining discourse-linguistic and narratological methods and concepts in order to draw the outlines of an interdisciplinary framework for the interpretation of classical literary texts.

The sub-project I will be carrying out is called Description in Greek War Narrative. By combining the two aforementioned disciplines, I will draw up a model directed towards the analysis of descriptions. This model will then be applied to and tested against descriptive passages selected from a corpus of Greek war narratives.
