Preface
Work, family, politics, friendship, the desire to create, and the longing for solitude all pull us in different directions. Weighing and ordering these competing claims set the course for a human life. In the larger sphere, the value accorded each and the arrangement achieved among them form the character of an entire culture.
I first became aware of a tension between the public and the private realms in Vergil's Aeneid through my study of grieving mothers in the epic. Gradually I came to see that the contrast Vergil poses between maternal love and civic obligation forms only one instance of a larger polarity between public and private concerns in the poem.
In another way, a spirited conversation with poet Allen Tate in the spring of 1978 helped form the conception of this book. We talked at length that bright April afternoon in Nashville about Vergil, Rome, tradition in literature, and the particular applicabilities of the Aeneid to the American experience.
