The Aeneid, the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Appendix Vergiliana are all discussed, as are art, history, politics, and philosophy; Virgil's literary style is carefully explored along with poetic traditions before and since, and chapters engage with his poems and their reception from perspectives including intertextuality, narratology, gender theory, philology and historicism. Leading authors cover topics from translations and commentaries to genre, authority, and characterisation, providing revised and updated recommendations for further reading. This volume is an accessible introduction to Virgil and his legacy for students and teachers, while also providing wide-ranging and in-depth investigations that will appeal to scholars of classical literature and other disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEditorial Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBook Description\u003cbr\u003e Presents stimulating chapters on Virgil and his reception, offering an authoritative overview of the current state of Virgilian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e Charles Martindale is Emeritus Professor of Latin at the University of Bristol.
