Description
Virgil's Aeneid brings the epic poem to a close with a single combat between its two main characters. This detailed commentary explores Virgil's portrayal of the opposing champions, his use and transformation of earlier poetry, and the shaping of the narrative in its final phases. The book provides a substantial introduction that discusses the larger literary and historical issues raised by the poem's conclusion, as well as accounts of Virgil's metre, later treatments of the book's events in art and music, and the transmission of the text. This commentary is designed for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, offering valuable insights into Latin literature. This single-volume commentary offers a unique perspective on one of the most important works of ancient Roman poetry, making it an essential resource for scholars and students alike.
