Thanks for the link to a well-stated article. Lewis' A Preface To Paradise Lost sounds akin to his The Discarded Image and his extended Introduction to English Literature in the Sixteenth Century Excluding Drama, both of which are billed as introductions to Medieval and Renaissance Literature, but are really excellent guides to the art of not reading one's 20th-21st Century presuppositions into the writings of the past.
It seems to me that "incessant autobiography" has been a characteristic of a few different ruthless dictators I can think of, including in the Middle East.
That "incessant autobiography" bit is brilliant. Saddam and all his statues, for example?
