Professor Clark's research interests include Archaic
Greece, Homeric Epic, Rhetoric, and the Classical Tradition. He
has published two books: Out of Line: Homeric Composition Beyond
the Hexameter (Rowman and Littlefield, 1997), which combines the
analysis of meter and formulas to present a new theory of oral-formulaic
composition, and A Matter of Style (Oxford, 2002), a study of prose
composition. His current project is a study of Persuasion in the
Iliad. He has also published fiction, verse, book reviews, and articles
on music and politics.
