Virgil's Presence in Contemporary Women's Writing

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Women writers are turning to Virgil and alluding to his poetry in a bid to explore modern preoccupations and concerns. Through an analysis of Virgil's presence in the work of contemporary women writers, this book identifies a new Virgil: one who speaks in female tones of the anxieties, pleasures, and threats of the contemporary world.
