This study contests the widespread view that Seneca's tragedies and
Lucan's epic on the civil war express their authors' disappointment
at the failure of Stoic doctrine to provide convincing answers to
the problems of evil in human behaviour or the inescapable blows of
Fate. The works of both writers, parallel in treatment, aim at the
representation in literature of the tensions between human
free-will and determinism.
In this volume of papers 19 authors demonstrate on the basis of
selected examples how Virgil s works, and above all his Aeneid,
have been received by modern authors. The examples span six
centuries (from the 15th to the 20th century). They are not limited
to the Latin reception, but also present texts from various genres
and languages (including Latin, German, English, French, Italian
etc.). The volume thus provides an impressive review of the variety
of the modern reception of Virgil."
