Reviews
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., Praise for the Italian edition: "A fine study of Virgilian and Homeric intertextuality."-- Don Fowler, Times Literary Supplement, "This is one of the masterpieces of the New Latin. Barchiesi's book has been especially influential in the model it provides of how to use superlatively high standards of philology in tandem with an open-minded theoretical sophistication. It remains a vivid and exciting discussion of key Vergilian issues and passages." --Denis Feeney, Princeton University, 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, "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, 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, 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. . . .

Synopsis
The study of Homeric imitations in Vergil has one of the longest traditions in Western culture, starting from the very moment the Aeneid was circulated. Homeric Effects in Vergil's Narrative is the first English translation of one of the most important and influential modern studies in this tradition. In this revised and expanded edition, Alessandro Barchiesi advances innovative approaches even as he recuperates significant earlier interpretations, from Servius to G. N. Knauer.Approaching Homeric allusions in the Aeneid as "narrative effects" rather than glimpses of the creative mind of the author at work, Homeric Effects in Vergil's Narrative demonstrates how these allusions generate hesitations and questions, as well as insights and guidance, and how they participate in the creation of narrative meaning. The book also examines how layers of competing interpretations in Homer are relevant to the Aeneid, revealing again the richness of the Homeric tradition as a component of meaning in the Aeneid. Finally, Homeric Effects in Vergil's Narrative goes beyond previous studies of the Aeneid by distinguishing between two forms of Homeric intertextuality: reusing a text as an individual model or as a generic matrix.For this edition, a new chapter has been added, and in a new afterword the author puts the book in the context of changes in the study of Latin literature and intertextuality.A masterful work of classical scholarship, Homeric Effects in Vergil's Narrative also has valuable insights for the wider study of imitation, allusion, intertextuality, epic, and literary theory., The study of Homeric imitations in Vergil has one of the longest traditions in Western culture, starting from the very moment the Aeneid was circulated.

- s***m (3)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGood experience communicating with the seller, value for money given that it's OOP, well packaged although a bit overkill with the amount of tape, but better safe than sorry. Great condition for a book that is like new and arguably in better shape than described. Timely shipping too. A great experience that I would absolutely do again.
