Re: VIRGIL: Humor in Eclogues
Is humor considered a characteristic of the Eclogues? I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I think there's quite a lot of humour in the Eclogues, e.g., in nos. 2, 3, 5, and 6. But then I read them mainly in English translation and through a haze of English imitation and parody.

Re: VIRGIL: Humor in Eclogues
A very hasty WWW-inquiry returned the following: Joy Connolly, of Stanford, held there in 1999 the following lecture: The appeal of the Alexandrian goatherd: intertextuality, humor, and cultural hegemony in Virgil's Eclogues Perhaps she could tell us more... But one's own readerly experiences should also be valid... Neven --- To leave the Mantovano mailing list at any time, do NOT hit reply.
