" Vergil and Elegy offers the most comprehensive treatment to date
of Vergil's relationship to elegy from a broad and satisfying
variety of perspectives. Rich and thought-provoking, this
collection illuminates not only Vergil's engagement with the genre
of elegy but also the impact of his 'elegiac' legacy in later
authors from antiquity to modern times. This book constitutes a
major contribution to our understanding of Vergil's oeuvre, Latin
love poetry, and Augustan and imperial literature writ
large."--Vassiliki Panoussi, Chancellor Professor of Classical
Studies, William & Mary
"This major collection of critical essays addresses a notable
lacuna in Vergilian scholarship: Vergil's sustained interaction
with the elegiac genre across his entire oeuvre. Vergil's
engagement with Greek and contemporary Latin elegiac poetry and the
reception of the 'elegiac Vergil' over sixteen centuries are
explored from multiple new perspectives. The authors reveal that
the 'soft, ' 'thin' genre of elegy is surprisingly robust and
transformative, while Vergil's engagement with the elegiac genre
and its poets is far more extensive and innovative than previous
scholarship has recognized." --Carole Newlands, Professor of
Classics, University of Colorado Boulder
