Odd as it might sound, I would suggest Richard Adams' _Watership Down_. While much "epic energy" may have been deflected away from the written word in the 2th century, there are still some epic writers left, and Adams at his best (he's very uneven, and has written some other books that are terribly infra dig) is one of them. Also, what about 20th c. war novels (WWI, WWII, etc.)? Randi Eldevik Oklahoma State University
