"The book is a lively and provocative reading of the Roman poet Lucan (A.D. 39-65) which casts new light on the "Pharsalia," his epic poem and only surviving work. The distinguished classicist W. R. Johnson demonstrates both the need to understand Lucan's epic on its own terms and the injustice of dismissing it as an inferior version of the "Aeneid."
