In a momentous publication, Seamus Heaney's translation of Book VI of the Aeneid, Virgil's epic poem composed sometime between 29 and 19 BC, follows the hero, Aeneas, on his descent into the underworld. In Stepping Stones, a book of interviews conducted by Dennis O'Driscoll, Heaney acknowledged the significance of the poem to his writing, noting that "there's one Virgilian journey that has indeed been a constant presence, and that is Aeneas's venture into the underworld. The motifs in Book VI have been in my head for years--the golden bough, Charon's barge, the quest to meet the shade of the father." In this new translation, Heaney employs the same deft handling of the original combined with the immediacy of language and sophisticated poetic voice as was on show in his translation of Beowulf, a reimagining which, in the words of James Wood, "created something imperishable and great that is stainless--stainless, because its force as poetry makes it untouchable by the claw of literalism: it lives singly, as an English language poem"-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a English and Latin (bilingual text). 600 00 $a Aeneas (Legendary character) $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Voyages to the otherworld $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Epic poetry, Latin $v Translations into English. 700 1 $a Heaney, Seamus, $d 1939-2013 $e translator. 700 12 $a Virgil. $t Aeneis. $n Liber 6. 700 12 $a Virgil. $t Aeneis. $n Liber 6. $l English. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103013723.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171223052451.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160511010908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B725DFC0173D11E6929784D6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
