Style
The style can be wholly attributed to Lang’s extensive experience with the language and composition of Homer’s works through his own translations of them. This familiarity is what allows The World’s Desire to be read as a thorough extension of The Odyssey in everything from diction and tone to the clear and direct language. Another influence on the style of the piece is the accuracy that is attributed through Haggard’s time in South Africa.
