VERGIL (Garland Reference Library of the Humanities)

A comprehensive survey on Vergil's influence on the art, music, and literature of western culture. Of the 12 essays reprinted here, all but four represent the scholarship since 1980 and include some of the first efforts to apply contemporary literary theory to the field of classical influences. One of the essays was translated (from the German) for this collection. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
