In all, the volume has much to recommend it, reaching the heights of sublimity more often than sending its readers to purgatory. For such an enormous enterprise the editors are to be congratulated, especially as it is well-produced, with very few errors or problems. (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 16 August 2011)Cooperation among the various authors is a significant feature of the book... In sum, this volume includes something for any lover of Virgil. (Choice, January 2011)This is a useful reference for scholars in a number of disciplines. (Book News, Inc., November 2010)A Companion to Vergil's Aeneid and its Tradition presents a collection of original interpretive essays by an international team of renowned scholars. Topics covered include Vergil's handling of sources; the history of Vergil reception in literature; and the enduring influence of Vergilian themes in prose, music, and art. The problem of translating the Aeneid into English and other languages is also covered, along with a survey of more recent translations into non-Western languages and their reception. Thought-provoking and accessible, A Companion to Vergil's Aeneid and its Tradition draws out wonderful new insights and complexities from the works of a poet whose voice continues to resonate after 2,000 years.
