What is The poetry of pathos [electronic resource] : studies in Virgilian epic about?
<p>This volume presents a collection of pieces from a celebrated world-class scholar and interpreter of Latin poetry, focusing on the interpretation of Virgil's <b>Aeneid</b>.. It forms the sequel to two widely influential earlier books on Virgil by the same author and translates and adds to a collection of papers published in Italian in 2002. Its central concern is the way in which Virgil reworks earlier poetry (especially that of Homer) at the most detailed level to produce very broad literary and emotional effects. Gian Biaggio Conte explores a central issue in Virgilian studies, that of how the <b>Aeneid</b> manages to create a new and effective mode of epic in a period when the genre appears to be debased or exhausted.</p>
