His secondary purpose is to try to give the modern reader an impression of what Homer's Iliad meant to the implied reader of the Aeneid and to Virgil himself. Throughout, Gransden places emphasis on the text as a piece of continuous narrative, finding that the experience of reading VII-XII modifies the reader's sense of books I-VI. This book will interest all those who enjoy Virgil, whether they are studying Latin or reading the poet in translation. A knowledge of Latin is not essential and those concerned with the techniques of narrative in epic and other fiction will also find the book of value. (Editor's information). ‘In sum, this is both a stimulating and a mildly exasperating book. G. is reasonably succesfull in relating Aeneid and Iliad given his limitations of format. And the book’s draw-back (for the reviewer) of over-concentration on modern literary theory, consequent skimping over the scholarly side and some careless error are counterbalanced by some illuminating remarks on the neglected second half of the Aeneid.’ (S.J. HARRISON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1986, p.40). |
