Event description
'The Tradition of Virgilian Travesty and Mock-Epic'
About this Event
The seventeenth century saw a Europe-wide fashion for travesties and parodies of the Aeneid. This lecture will ask why writers and readers put so much energy into these productions, and what these works can tell us about the reception of Virgil.
Upon registering, participants will receive (with their booking confirmation) a link to download the handout in advance of the lecture.
