This volume presents a collection of pieces from a celebrated
world-class scholar and interpreter of Latin poetry, focusing on
the interpretation of Virgil's Aeneid.. It forms the sequel to two
widely influential earlier books on Virgil by the same author and
translates and adds to a collection of papers published in Italian
in 2002. Its central concern is the way in which Virgil reworks
earlier poetry (especially that of Homer) at the most detailed
level to produce very broad literary and emotional effects. Gian
Biaggio Conte explores a central issue in Virgilian studies, that
of how the Aeneid manages to create a new and effective mode of
epic in a period when the genre appears to be debased or exhausted.
