Synopsis
This short book is a study of the epic tradition of the early Roman empire and specifically of the epic poems of Ovid, Lucan, Statius, Valerius Flaccus and Silius Italicus. It explores the use they made of Virgil's Aeneid, an epic interpreted not just as a monument to the heroic construction of the principate, but also as a problematical text that challenged succeeding epic poets to a reworking of the issues that it dramatised: the possibility of establishing a lasting age of peace, the relation between power and the sacred, the difficulties of distinguishing between good and its evil parodies, anxiety about imperial and poetic succession. The author draws on modern critical and theoretical approaches to argue for the vitality and interest of works which have all too often been relegated to a second division of literary history.

Paperback. Etat : Like new. Very good softcover in printed wraps. Minor sun fading to the bottom of the spine and minor scuff marks to the rear cover. 8vo. (5 x 0.36 x 8 inches) Clean text free of marks or underlining. Includes a bibliography, index of passages cited and a general index. 144 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. This short book is a study of the epic tradition of the early Roman empire and specifically of the epic poems of Ovid, Lucan, Statius, Valerius Flaccus and Silius Italicus. It explores the use they made of Virgil's Aeneid, an epic interpreted not just as a monument to the heroic construction of the principate, but also as a problematical text that challenged succeeding epic poets to a reworking of the issues that it dramatised: the possibility of establishing a lasting age of peace, the relation between power and the sacred, the difficulties of distinguishing between good and its evil parodies, anxiety about imperial and poetic succession. The author draws on modern critical and theoretical approaches to argue for the vitality and interest of works which have all too often been relegated to a second division of literary history. He argues that these epics may in some ways be understood better through a forward rather than a backward glance, to the epics of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The book will be of interest to students of English epic and of comparative literature as well as to classicists. All Latin is translated. N° de réf. du vendeur 202784
