Book Synopsis
With an approach to the text that is both grounded in scholarship and intensely personal, and in a style both rhetorically elegant and passionate, this book offers readings of specific passages that are nuanced and suggestive as it focuses on the "somber and nourishing fictions" in Vergil's poem.
