Description

Inscribed by author: "For Patricia & Gordon-- with more thanks for everything. --Ralph 14 July 1976." ; 179 pages; In examining the nature and the significance of Vergil's multiple allegories in the Aeneid, the author contrasts the poem's deliberately lyrical and enigmatic style and narrative technique with the clarity and realism of Homeric poetic, and he investigates the intellectual milieu in which Vergil shaped his poem, focusing on the great disintegration of classical humanism that Vergil's age portends. ; Signed by Author
