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

'Dr. S.J. Harrison ... has given us the most ambitious of this "series", and he is to be congratulated for the great detail of lexicographical, historical, geographical, ethnographical, and other material here presented. This is a book that all Virgilian scholars will need to own and consult, on any of these points, and also for what it can teach them about general Latin usage.' Vergilius, Volume 38
