Synopses & Reviews
Exploring the metaphorical world of Virgils narrative, Hunt ranges throughout the poem viewing its part in relation to the structure of the whole as a unique aesthetic presentation. The result is penetrating application of organistic formalism to the entirety of the Aeneid and a strengthening of the bond between classical scholarship and contemporary criticism.
