Opis

These essays, written by such distinguished scholars as C.M. Gowra, N.M. Horsfall, R.O.A.M. Lyne, D.A. West and R.D. Williams, constitute a broad range of twentieth-century and classic criticism on Vergil's Aeneid. Intended as a supplement to standard reading for undergraduate courses in ancient epic poetry, the essays are all in English and include several documents gathered from rare, out of print, or previously inaccessible sources. In addition, Harrison offers a general survey of literature on the Aeneid since 1900, containing much additional bibliographical material, and brief mention of the work in other languages.

Recenzje

'... it is both comprehensive and detailed, offering comments on historical matters, the literary background, poetic style and diction, and textual problems; it is truly impressive in its learning, thoughtfulness, and occasional originality in particular details. Scholars will consult H.'s notes on diction and usage regularly, and on other matters much to be learned is conveniently collected. David O. Ross, Jr. The University of Michigan. The Classical Journal 90.1 (1994)
