Roman Epic: an Interpretive Introduction (Mnemosyne Supplements) Michael Von Albrecht

In this interpretative approach to the Roman epic, the reader is invited to study a choice of typical texts, from the beginnings to the end of antiquity. Famous poets are given the attention they deserve, but also some minor authors are discovered as precious "missing links" between the ages. Special attention is paid to intertextual relationships between different epochs, cultures, literary genres, linguistic and literary patterns.
