Abstract

Vergil in England
August 9, 1919 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Vergil and the English Poets," by Elizabeth Nitchie. The book is a faithful chronicle of the perverse interpretations, romantic distortions, superficial imitations, scholarly reconstructions, and sympathetic appreciations that Vergil has suffered at the hands of English writers. Nitchie is especiaIIy successful in her treatment of the concrete facts of quotation, allusion, translation, and imitation. Whatever Vergilian tire is to be found in the verbal detritus of later poets she has panned out, and with a wealth of parallel passages at her disposal has shown considerate restraint in selecting only the most significant.
