Zustand: Sehr gut. X, 210 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Some staining on dust jacket, ocassional pen markings in text, otherwise very good. / Umschlag etwas befleckt, vereinzelte Kugelschreiberanstreichungen im Text, sonst sehr gut. - Incorporating the most up-to-date classical scholarship, Virgilian scholar R. Alden Smith presents a comprehensive introduction to Virgil's literary works and narrative technique. In addition to exploring the historical milieu, this book considers the reception of Virgil's works, citing examples from painting, sculpture, and drama. After analyzing Virgil's three major works - the Eclogues, Georgies, and the great national epic of Rome, the Aeneid - Smith addresses other key topics, including the manuscript tradition and various problems associated with establishment of the text. Virgil's legacy, including his influence on subsequent Latin poetry and later literary figures (e.g., Dante, Camdes, Milton) is also a feature of this study. Combining scholarly rigor and an accessible writing style, Smith offers an insightful introduction to Virgil and the world in which he lived. - R. Alden Smith is Professor of Classics at Baylor University. He is the author of Poetic Allusion and Poetic Embrace in Ovid and Virgil (1998) and The Primacy of Vision and Virgils Aeneid (2005), as well as many articles on Latin and Greek poetry and Greek epigraphy.
