Description
Aeneas by Lee T. Pearcy is a thought-provoking exploration of Vergil's central character, Aeneas, and his place in Rome's most important poem. This volume offers new translations and close readings of crucial passages, restoring Aeneas to the forefront of Vergil's epic work. Pearcy's book presents Aeneas as a complex figure whose defining virtue is rooted in a past that has been stripped from him. His choices, silences, tears, and anger reflect an existential struggle that ultimately leads to his downfall. By examining Aeneas through this lens, Pearcy creates a character for our time - one who navigates the challenges of liquid modernity. This book provides readers with a fresh perspective on Vergil's masterpiece, shedding new light on the hero of the Trojan War and his enduring relevance in an age of uncertainty.
