This volume offers 18 new studies reflecting the latest scholarship
on Latin verse, explored both in its original context and in
subsequent contexts as it has been translated and re-imagined. All
chapters reflect the wide research interests of Professor Susanna
Braund, to whom the volume is dedicated. Latin Poetry and Its
Reception assembles a blend of senior scholars and new voices in
Latin literary studies. It makes important contributions to the
understanding of kingship in Hellenistic and Roman thought, with
the first four chapters dedicated to exploring this theme in
Republican poetry, Virgil, Seneca, and Statius. Chapters focusing
on the modern reception include case studies from the 16th to the
21st century, with discussions on Gavin Douglas, Edward Gibbon,
Herman Melville, Igor Stravinsky, and Elena Ferrante, among others.
No comparable volume provides a similar range. Latin Poetry and Its
Reception will appeal to all scholars of Latin poetry and classical
reception, from senior undergraduates to scholars in classics and
other disciplines.
