Publisher Synopsis
"This first English translation of Alessandro Barchiesi's trail-blazing 1984 study is much more than a revised edition... Barchiesi adds yet more layers, marking this renewed book as a key contribution to classical scholarship now."--Victoria Rimell, Times Literary Supplement "All readers of Virgil will want to peruse this book, and adherents of literary theory especially will find much in it to praise and ponder."--Choice Praise for the Italian edition: "A fine study of Virgilian and Homeric intertextuality."--Don Fowler, Times Literary Supplement Praise for the Italian edition: "[Barchiesi's] constant awareness of the 'intertextual' operation of Homer on every level, combined with able deployment of verbal detail, classical reading and bibliography, makes for a stimulating read... This book is full of interesting ideas and details; as a literary treatment of Homeric allusion it constitutes an improvement on Knauer's sometimes mechanical approach, and deserves the attention of scholars."--Stephen J. Harrison, Journal of Roman Studies Read more...
