- `Pessimistic' Readings of the Aeneid in Early Modern Culture

About The Other Virgil

The story of how the Aeneid has been approached by various postclassical authors - including Shakespeare and Milton - not as an endorsement of the ideals of their societies, but as a model for poems that probed and challenged dominant values, just as Virgil himself had done centuries before.
