Oh, for the love of a patron! Dan Simmons (I think--it was either him or Neal Stephenson) at one point wrote a great essay on being a Dante writer vs. being a Beowulf writer (one writing for the academy/patron, one writing for the masses). There are days when I would so totally leap into the Dante category! That's why I keep trolling the grants listings, I suppose... ;)
