Constructing Communities in Vergil's Aeneid: Cultural Memory, Identity, and Ideology
Autor Tedd A. Wimperisen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 ian 2024
Where previous studies of identity and memory in the Aeneid have focused on the poem’s constructions of Roman identity, Constructing Communities turns the spotlight onto the characters themselves to show how the world inside the poem is replicating, as if in miniature, real forms of contemporary political and cultural discourse, reflecting an historical milieu where appeals to Roman identity were vigorously asserted in political rhetoric. The book applies this evidence to a broad literary analysis of the Aeneid, as well as a reevaluation of its engagement with Roman imperial ideology in the Age of Augustus.

Recenzii
“This is a compelling and ambitious book. The author tackles the complex and very timely topic of the construction of ethnic identity and cultural memory in Vergil’s Aeneid from a methodology influenced by cultural memory studies, historicist approaches to ancient literature and at times postcolonial theory.”
“This work is a valuable contribution that sheds new light on a much-debated issue. Its insightful readings and clear expositions make the monograph a useful resource for both Vergil’s scholars and non-specialists.”
Descriere
