Book Description

A collection of essays on Virgil's Aeneid by a celebrated scholar and interpreter of Latin poetry.

The Poetry of Pathos


Book Description

This volume presents a collection of pieces from a celebrated world-class scholar and interpreter of Latin poetry, focusing on the interpretation of Virgil's Aeneid.. It forms the sequel to two widely influential earlier books on Virgil by the same author and translates and adds to a collection of papers published in Italian in 2002. Its central concern is the way in which Virgil reworks earlier poetry (especially that of Homer) at the most detailed level to produce very broad literary and emotional effects. Gian Biaggio Conte explores a central issue in Virgilian studies, that of how the Aeneid manages to create a new and effective mode of epic in a period when the genre appears to be debased or exhausted.

Victory Verses and Poems of Pathos (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Victory Verses and Poems of Pathos There's a little blue star in my window, That means all the world to me, For it speaks in a voice sweet and tender Of a loved one far over the sea. It comforts me when I am lonely, It brightens the gloom of my night, For I know its pure love is mine only, 'as it fills all my soul with its light. That little blue star stands for duty, For a purpose both noble and high, For a soul filled with honor and beauty, For a love that is willing to die. One night when the shadows were falling And my heart felt a yearning untold, An angel of light, In his heavenly flight, Turned that little blue star to gold.
