Description
Darkness Visible: A Study of Vergil's "Aeneid" by W. R. Johnson challenges traditional interpretations of one of literature's most enduring works. By focusing on Vergil's unique style and the questioning of heroic myths, Johnson offers a nuanced reading of specific passages that reveal the complexity of Vergil's poem. This book provides a fresh perspective on the Aeneid, one that is both grounded in scholarship and deeply personal. Johnson's approach will appeal to classicists and scholars alike, as he explores how politics have shaped modern readings of the classics and poetry. A thoughtful and engaging study, Darkness Visible is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Vergil's masterpiece.
