The Virgilian Tradition II

The Virgilian Tradition II brings together thirteen essays by historian Craig Kallendorf.

The essays present a distinctive approach to the reception of the canonical classical author Virgil, which is focused around the early printed books through which that author was read and interpreted within early modern culture. Using the prefaces, dedicatory letters, and commentaries that accompanied the early modern editions of Virgils Eclogues, Georgics, Aeneid, and Appendix Virgiliana, they demonstrate how this paratextual material was used by early readers to develop a more nuanced interpretation of Virgils writings than twentieth-century scholars believed they were capable of. The approach developed throughout this volume shows how the emerging field of book history can enrich our understanding of the reception of Greek and Latin authors.

This book will appeal to scholars and students of early modern history, as well as those interested in book history and cultural history.

Craig Kallendorf is Professor of English and Classics at Texas A&M University, where he has taught since 1982. He is the author or editor of 27 books and more than 170 articles, book chapters, and reference work entries.
