Book excerpt: VIRGIL “A truly useful introduction to Vergil and his poetry. Smith combines up-to-date information on the issues with an intelligent and well-written assessment. Highly recommended.” Karl Galinsky, University of Texas at Austin “For the newcomer to Virgil, this book will be a welcome introduction to the poet’s works and their reception by critics, artists, and scholars through the centuries.” Peter E. Knox, University of Colorado, Boulder Incorporating the most up-to-date classical scholarship, Virgilian scholar R. Alden Smith presents a comprehensive introduction to Virgil’s literary works and narrative technique. In addition to exploring the historical milieu, this book considers the reception of Virgil’s works, citing examples from painting, sculpture, and drama. After analyzing Virgil’s three major works – the Eclogues, Georgics, and the great national epic of Rome, the Aeneid – Smith addresses other key topics, including the manuscript tradition and various problems associated with establishment of the text. Virgil’s legacy, including his influence on subsequent Latin poetry and later literary figures (e.g., Dante, Camões, Milton) is also a feature of this study. Combining scholarly rigor and an accessible writing style, Smith offers an insightful introduction to Virgil and the world in which he lived.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting "Aeneid by Virgil and Metamorphoses by Ovid with Illustrations by Nicholas Tamblyn and Katherine Eglund." These classics are part of The Great Books Series by Golding Books.The classic translation of the Aeneid is by John Dryden, and of Metamorphoses by John Dryden, Sir Samuel Garth, and others.Virgil, or Publius Vergilius Maro, was born near Mantua in the Roman Republic in 70 BC. He wrote three famed Latin poems: the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. Since its composition, the Aeneid has been considered the national epic of ancient Rome; Virgil is said to have recited several books from it to the first Roman Emperor Augustus. He died at the age of 50 in 19 BC.Ovid, or Publius Ovidius Naso, was born in Sulmo, Italy, in 43 BC. He is best known for the Metamorphoses, as well as Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) and Fasti. With his older contemporaries Virgil and Horace, he is often considered one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature. Later in life, he was exiled--according to his own words, because of "a poem and a mistake"--by Emperor Augustus to a remote province known as Tomis on the Black Sea, where he remained until his death in AD 17 or 18.
Download or read book Virgil Recomposed written by Scott McGill and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virgilian centos anticipate the avant-garde and smash the image of a staid, sober, and centered classical world. This book examines the twelve mythological and secular Virgilian centos that survive from antiquity. The centos, in which authors take non-consecutive lines or segments of lines from the Eclogues, Georgics, and Aeneid and reconnect them to produce new poems, have received limited attention. No other book-length study exists of all the centos, which date from ca. 200 to ca. 530. The centos are literary games, and they have a playful shock value that feels very modern. Yet the texts also demand to be taken seriously for what they disclose about late antique literary culture, Virgil's reception, and several important topics in Latin literature and literary studies generally. As radically intertextual works, the centos are particularly valuable sites for pursuing inquiry into allusion. Scrutinizing the peculiarities of the texts' allusive engagements with Virgil requires clarification of the roles of the author and the reader in allusion, the criteria for determining what constitutes an allusion, and the different functions allusion can have. By investigating the centos from these different perspectives and asking what they reveal about a wide range of weighty subjects, this book comes into dialogue with major topics and studies in Latin literature.

The entire range of his poetry, from the Amores to the Epistles from the Black Sea, is discussed by some of the leading scholars of Latin poetry, employing, critical methods ranging from philology to contemporary literary theory.
