Affirms that Virgil s flexibility and openness to reception has
ensured his continuing relevance for writers of widely differing
persuasions.--Julian Cowley "The Year's Work in English Studies,
80, 2002, 615 ""
The fine chapters on Pierre Klossowski s controversial Aeneid
translation and on the nouveau roman constitute in their grouping a
genuine contribution to our understanding of Virgil s postwar
reception... the coherence of traditional heroic and imperialistic
readings gives way to a postmodern view of Aeneas as
exile.--Theodore Ziolkowski "French Studies, LV.2, 2001, 269-70
""
Wide-ranging and illuminating... In sum, Aeneas Takes The Metro
illustrates, if proof were needed, the ability of a well-informed
and scholarly comparative study to transcend linguistic, formal and
temporal barriers successfully and productively.--Kiera Vaclavik
