The author focuses on the emperor Augustus in the poetry of Virgil, detects in the poets and grammarians of antiquity alternately a collaborative oppositional reading and an attempt to suppress such reading, studies creative translation (particularly Dryden's), which reasserts the 'Augustan' Virgil, and examines naive translation which can be truer to the spirit of Virgil. Scrutiny of 'textual cleansing', philology's rewriting or excision of troubling readings, leads to readings by both supporters and opponents of fascism and National Socialism to support or subvert the latter-day Augustus. The book ends with a diachronic examination of the ways successive ages have tried to make the Aeneid conform to their upbeat expectations of this poet.Virgil & the Augustan ReceptionLatin poetryHistory and criticismTheory, etcLatin languageTranslating into EnglishRomeIn literatureLatin poetryHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Latin languageTranslating into English.871/.01Thomas Richard F.1950-473515UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910973933903321Virgil and the Augustan reception4426907UNINA
