Aeneas Takes the Metro - Cox, Fiona

Traces Virgil's journey through twentieth-century France by examining his profile in the works of Gide, Aragon, Valery, Pagnol, Klossowski, Butor, Simon and Pinget, and by looking at how their Virgilian appropriations complement and modify readings of the "Aeneid" and other works. This study reaffirms the multivalency of this great European poet.
