Recenzje

The Medieval Classic shows that the connections between the Aeneid and twelfth-century Latin epic have not been properly appreciated because the importance of the late antique and medieval commentaries on Virgil's poetry has not been fully acknowledged. Haynes's book clarifies these connections, providing insight into both the Virgilian commentary tradition and the development of allegorical epic in the Middle Ages. A must-read.
