The disciplines of classical scholarship were established in their
modern form between 1300 and 1600, and Virgil was a test case for
many of them. What became of Virgil in this period how he was
understood and how his poems were recycled is an example of
something that occurs to every classic when it outlives it original
context: the words remain but their meaning becomes unsponsored.
What did readers assume about Virgil in the long decades between
Dante and Sidney, Petrarch and Spenser, Boccaccio and Ariosto?
Which commentators had the most influence? What story, if any, was
Virgil's Eclogues supposed to tell? What was the status of his
Georgics? Which parts of his epic attracted the most imitators?
Building on specialized scholarship of the last hundred years, this
book provides a panoramic synthesis of what scholars and poets from
across Europe believed they could know about Virgil's life and
poetry."
