The mention of Haecker's book (which I haven't read either) is a good reminder that our grandfathers' books are still useful, even if our parents don't read them anymore. Or to put it another way, good books become obsolete (if at all) piece by piece, not all at once.
What are some good books (or good chapters) on Virgil that people don't read anymore but that you think are still useful? Earlier this week, I was reading Jackson Knight's Roman Vergil (1944) and learned a great deal from the chapter on meter and style. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- David Wilson-Okamura http://virgil.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] East Carolina University Virgil reception, discussion, documents, &c ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To leave the Mantovano mailing list at any time, do NOT hit reply.
