This book examines the twelve mythological and secular examples, which probably date from c.200-c.530. While verbal games, the centos deserve to be taken seriously for what they disclose about Virgil's reception, late-antique literary culture, and other important historical and theoretical topics in literary criticism. As radically intertextual works, the centos are particularly valuable sites for investigating topics in allusion studies: when can and should audiences read texts allusively? What is the role of the author and the reader in creating allusions? How does one determine the functions of allusions? This book explores these and other questions, and in the process comes into dialogue with major critical issues. 410 0$aAmerican classical studies ;$vno. 48. 606 $aEpic poetry, Latin$xAdaptations$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCentos$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMythology, Roman, in literature 615 0$aEpic poetry, Latin$xAdaptations$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCentos$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMythology, Roman, in literature. 676 $a871/.01 700 $aMcGill$b Scott$f1968-$0479996 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996218359703316 996 $aVirgil recomposed$92385864 997 $aUNISA
