London, United Kingdom: Gerald Duckworth & Company, Limited. New. 1999. Paperback. 1853995797 .*** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED - 416 pages; 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches -- A basic text for students and scholars today, providing a study of the techniques by which Virgil composed his epic on Aeneas -- Virgils Epische Technik (1903) was a great pioneering work of abiding importance, which has never been superseded. Richard Heinze provides a remarkable insight into the problems Virgil faced. He identifies certain themes now accepted as central to Virgil's epic vision, among them the subordination of event to emotion; the way in which the poet justifies Aeneas' unheroic flight from Troy; the role of prophecy; and the virtues that make Dido uniquely worthy of Aeneas' love. Heinze was a man of refined literary judgment who wrote in a clear and unpretentious style. This translation from the German is a basic text for students as well as for scholars: published for the first time in paperback, it now includes a helpful Index of passages cited from the Aeneid. -- REVIEW: "This was the outstanding book on Virgil in its day, and it remains a superlative and basic study of the techniques by which the poet composes his epic on Aeneas.... Heinze's scholarship is absolutely brilliant, even after 90 years." -- W. S. Anderson, author of Essays on Roman Satire "Heinze's work has two things in particular to recommend it. The first is his own immense learning. Better than any contemporary scholar, Heinze draws upon and integrates the full range of literary sources that might have influenced Virgil.... His second great strength is his capacity to visualize the action of Virgil's narrative. He brings the text alive and helps us to appreciate the real drama of Aeneas' experiences." -- Gary B. Miles, author of Virgil's 'Georgics' -- TABLE OF CONTENTS: Foreword to the 1999 edition * * Preface to the 1st edition by Richard Heinze * Preface to the 2nd edition * Preface to the 3rd edition * * Translators' note * Preface by Antonie Wlosok * * Part I * 1.
