were published between 1979 and 1998. In their present
format these studies take on a diachronic aspect additional
to the synchronic status that they had in their original
context. Dealing with the intricate ways in which Virgil,
and in the introductory chapter his predecessor Catullus,
manipulated and appropriated their inherited Greek and Roman
literary tradition, this book presents a profile, through
detailed studies, of the mechanics of one of the most
dynamic periods in the literary history of any culture."
"There is throughout a working assumption that intertextual
connections can be established, and further that functions
and purposes, even intended ones, may be inferred from those
connections. The hermeneutic stance, if there is a single
one, is that the presence of the model's intertext, when
triggered by reader recognition in the (Catullan or)
Virgilian text, has a powerful ability to create meaning."
"This book will be of interest to scholars and students of
Greek and Roman poetry but should also be of value to
students of medieval, Renaissance, and early modern
vernacular literatures, most of whose poets saw themselves
closely connected to Virgil, and many of whom entered into
similar relationships with Virgilian and other Latin
texts."--BOOK JACKET.
