'Gripping ... A remarkable achievement' TLS
On his deathbed in 19 BCE, Vergil asked that his epic, the Aeneid, be burned. If
his wishes had been obeyed, western literature - maybe even western civilization
- might have taken a different course.
The Aeneid has remained a foundational text since the rise of universities, and
has been invoked at key points of human history - whether by Saint Augustine to
illustrate the fallen nature of the soul, by settlers to justify manifest
destiny in North America, or by Mussolini in support of his Fascist regime.
In this fresh and fast-paced translation of the Aeneid, Shadi Bartsch brings the
poem to the modern reader. Along with the translation, her introduction will
guide the reader to a deeper understanding of the epic's enduring influence.
