Aspects of Realism in Virgil's Aeneid

John J Reed, Fordham University

Abstract

To suggest a study of realism in Virgil's Aeneid night, perhaps, have startled the average Virgilian scholar of the Kenaissance. His chief interest was in the form of the poem; the grace and music of its verse, the perfection of its language; as his medieval predecessors had mostly probed its allegorical possibilities and its mystic connotations.
