Abstract

"In Contexts of War, Andreola Rossi takes a fresh look at the battle narrative of the Aeneid and devotes specific attention to the ways in which the narrator constantly manipulates the epic imagery of war by assimilating the narrative conventions of other literary genres, namely historiography and, indirectly, tragedy. Moving beyond the usual pairing of Homer and Virgil, Iliad and Aeneid, Rossi refutes the notion that Homer is the only code model for the latter, and demonstrates that the Virgilian battle narrative presents a complex generic structure."--Jacket.

Abstract

Kein Werk der griechisch-römischen Dichtung hat zu so dissonanten Reaktionen geführt wie das Bellum Civile Lucans. Nachdem die Verurteilung des Epos im 19. Jahrhundert ihren Höhepunkt erreicht hatte und das 20. Jahrhundert seine langsame 'Rehabilitation' erlebte, ist nun der Weg frei für eine zeitgemäße Neu-Interpretation des grossen römischen Gedichts über den Bürgerkrieg. Dieser Band vereinigt 18 Beiträge namhafter Autoren und Autorinnen aus den relevanten scientific communities (Australien/Grossbritannien/USA, Belgien/Niederlande, Italien, Deutschland/Schweiz) zu den Kernfragen der Lucan-Forschung. There is no other work of Greco-Roman poetry that has evoked such dissonant reactions as Lucan's Bellum Civile. Whereas the condemnation of the epic had reached its climax in the 19th century, the 20th century saw its gradual rehabilitation. Now the time has come for a contemporary re-assessment of the fascinating epic on Rome's maior civil war. The essay-collection presents 18 articles by renowned scholars of the maior scientific communities (Australia/UK/USA, Belgium/The Netherlands, Germany/Switzerland), focussing on the relevant issues of modern Lucan-scholarship.
