The Virgilian Tradition II brings together thirteen essays by
historian Craig Kallendorf. The essays present a distinctive
approach to the reception of the canonical classical author Virgil,
that is focused around the early printed books through which that
author was read and interpreted within early modern culture. Using
the prefaces, dedicatory letters, and commentaries that accompanied
the early modern editions of Virgil's Eclogues, Georgics, Aeneid,
and Appendix Virgiliana, they demonstrate how this paratextual
material was used by early readers to develop a more nuanced
interpretation of Virgil's writings than twentieth-century scholars
believed they were capable of. The approach developed throughout
this volume shows how the emerging field of book history can enrich
our understanding of the reception of Greek and Latin authors. This
book will appeal to scholars and students of early modern history,
as well as those interested in book history and cultural history.
