Was He His Master's Voice? --Bibliography --IndexIn the book titled Vergil's political commentary in Eclogues, Georgics and Aeneid, the author examines Vergil's political views by analyzing the whole of the poet's work. He introduces the notion of the functional model suggesting that the poet often used this instrument when making a political statement. New interpretations of a number of the Eclogues and passages of the Georgics and the Aeneid are suggested and the author concludes that Vergil's political engagement is visible in much of his work. During his whole career the poet was consistent in his views on several major political themes. These varied from, the distress caused by the violation of the countryside during and after the expropriations in the 40s B.C., to the horrors of the civil war and the violence of war in general, and the necessity of strong leadership. Vergil hoped and expected that Octavian would establish peace and order, and he supported a form of hereditary kingship for which he considered Octavian a suitable candidate. He held Cleopatra in high regard, and he appreciated a more meaningful role for women in society. Vergil wrote poetry that supported Augustus, but he had also the courage to criticize Octavian and his policies. He was a commentator with an independent mind and was not a member of Augustus' putative propaganda machine.Politics in literatureElectronic books.Augustus and his policy.Commentary on contemporary political issues.Functional and literary model.Vergil.Politics in literature.873.01Weeda Leendert763111Grzegorek KatarzynaBorowska AnnaRocchi ManuelaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996308766103316Vergil's political commentary in the Eclogues, Georgics and Aeneid1547802UNISA01619nam 2200373 n 450 99639216150331620200824121624.0(CKB)4940000000107469(EEBO)2240961650(UnM)99861704e(UnM)99861704(EXLCZ)99494000000010746919920622d1646 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|The life and death, of the illustrious Robert Earle of Essex, &c[electronic resource] Containing at large the wars he managed, and the commands he had in Holland, the Palatinate, and in England.
