The resonant opening lines of Virgil's 'Aeneid' rank among the most famous and consistently recited verses to have been passed down to later ages by antiquity. And after the 'Odyssey' and the 'Iliad', Virgil's masterpiece is arguably the greatest classical text in the whole of Western literature. This sinuous and richly characterised epic vitally influenced the poetry of Dante, Petrarch and Milton. The doomed love of Dido and Aeneas inspired Purcell, while for T.S. Eliot Virgil's poem was 'the classic of all Europe'. The poet's stirring tale of a refugee Trojan prince, 'torn from Libyan waves' to found a new homeland in Italy, has provided much fertile material for writings on colonialism and for discourses of ethnic and national identity. The 'Aeneid' has even been viewed as a template and a source of philosophical justification for British and American imperialism and adventurism. In his major new book Philip Hardie explores the many remarkable afterlives - ancient, medieval and modern - of the 'Aeneid' in literature, music, politics, the visual arts and film -- Dust jacket. 600 00 $a Virgil. $t Aeneis. 600 00 $a Virgil $x Influence. 600 00 $a Virgil $x History. $x History. 600 00 $a Virgil $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Aeneas (Legendary character) 600 07 $a Virgil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00030908 630 07 $a Aeneis (Virgil) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356034 650 7 $a Aeneas (Legendary character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798041 650 7 $a Art appreciation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815447 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Also available online: $a Hardie, Philip R. $t Last Trojan hero.
