'Gripping ... A remarkable achievement' TLS On his deathbed in 19
BCE, Vergil asked that his epic, the Aeneid, be burned. If his
wishes had been obeyed, western literature - maybe even western
civilization - might have taken a different course. The Aeneid has
remained a foundational text since the rise of universities, and
has been invoked at key points of human history - whether by Saint
Augustine to illustrate the fallen nature of the soul, by settlers
to justify manifest destiny in North America, or by Mussolini in
support of his Fascist regime. In this fresh and fast-paced
translation of the Aeneid, Shadi Bartsch brings the poem to the
modern reader. Along with the translation, her introduction will
guide the reader to a deeper understanding of the epic's enduring
influence.
