Описание:
One of the most celebrated epics, Virgil’s Aeneid presents many challenges to readers, particularly those reading the work in translation. Frederick Ahl’s How to Read the Aeneid guides students through this complex work and untangles the intricacies of the poem through running, book–by–book, commentary. Placing the epic in its literary, philosophical, historical, and political context, Ahl examines characters that Virgil pointedly omits as well as those he includes. Ahl also explores the unexpected humor inherent in the work, and expertly provides new interpretations for deeper insight into this epic. How to Read the Aeneid is essential for all readers of Virgil’s masterpiece and illuminates his thought, vision, and wit, as well as the importance of this epic work.Похожие книги
