Bibliography of Vergilian Scholarship: 1990-1991



Table of Contents

The present survey of Vergilian scholarship is the twenty-ninth in the VERGILIUS Series. Classical World 68:1 (1974) published in association with The Vergilian Society, contains my ``Recent Work on Vergil: A Bibliographical Survey, 1964-1973.'' The survey was reprinted in The Classical World Bibliography of Vergil, ed. Walter Donlan (New York & London: Garland 1978).

Subsequent reviews of scholarship have appeared in VERGILIUS 19 (1973), 20 (1974), 21 (1975), 22 (1976) 23, (1977, 24 (1978), 25 (1979), 26 (1980), 27 (1981), 28 (1982), 29 (1983), 30 (1984), 31 (1985), 32 (1986), 33 (1987), 34 (1988), 35 (1989), and 36 (1990).

The 1990-1991 compilation is greatly indebted to the assistance and cooperation of several libraries: Mills Memorial Library, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario; John P. Robarts Library, University of Toronto; and the Library of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ. Offprints of articles, chapters and titles for inclusion in the annual VERGILIUS bibliography have once again been generously provided by readers. Users will notice that the format of the ``Bibliography'' has been refined somewhat for ease of consultation. Approximately the same pattern will be adopted in the Quarter Century of Vergilian Scholarship which is scheduled for publication by Garland Press, New York, during 1992. As always, authors and scholars are once again invited to send offprints and advice to the editor, Alexander G. McKay, Department of Classics, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4M2 Canada.

Briggs and Calder offer profiles of three Vergilian scholars in their catalogue: Tenney Frank (68-76), Gilbert Highet (183-191), and Eduard Norden (341-345). The late Otto Skutsch and R. A. B. Mynors must now be included in its sequel. D'Anna's collected papers is a rich offering for Vergilians. Della Corte's monumental Enciclopedia Virgiliana offers basic information and valuable bibliographies passim. Harrison's Oxford Readings contains 25 previously published contributions and a new introductory essay by the editor, ``Some Views of the Aeneid in the Twentieth Century'' (1-20). McAuslan and Walcot offer 15 essays published between 1972 and 1985; nine are concerned with the epic, two with the Georgics and the remainder with general topics.

Slavitt's verse adaptations, a reprinting of the 1971-72 edition, contains a new preface. The colloquial rendering plays ``fast and loose with Vergil.'' David West's Penguin prose translation replaces Jackson Knight's ``established'' version. West has preferred simplicity to archaic expressions and succeeds brilliantly in retaining the sense and tenor of the original Latin.

Alimonti argues that the title, Appendix Virgiliana originated with Scaliger, the 16th century humanist. Thomas replaces corrupt bibulo with bibulum: ``what pleasure is being outside worn out with summer's heat, rather than lying at the couch drinking?'' Copa and Aetna retain their popularity and scholarly attraction. Gigante discovers subtle Catullan echoes in Catalepton 5 (Cat. c. 11, 10). Romano regards Catalepton as authentically Vergilian.

56. John Van Sickle, ``Bucoliche: 11 (La struttura),'' EncVirg 1: 549-552.

Perkell's contribution to the panel discussion sponsored by The Vergilian Society on ``Vergilian Scholarship in the Nineties'' at the A.P.A. Convention (29 December 1990) in San Francisco provides a sketch of work on the Bucolics by contemporary critics and treats topics of consequence for the future: inconclusiveness, allusion, ``the pastoral imagination,'' and irony. In her view: ``Specificity and other kinds of interpretive precision or attempts at orthodoxy will evolve to more open, inclusive and inconclusive, ironic, and dissolving readings.'' Cited texts are appended in a select bibliography. Van Sickle's extended response cites the importance of the breakthrough to a unifying conception of the Eclogue book and the call to newly concerted reading. S. V. Tracy's recent ``Commentary on Alpers,'' Arethusa 23 (1990) 49-57, is singled out as marking a ``new, productive and inexhaustible way of reading'' the Eclogues. Stabryla concentrates on Roman elements in the collection, factors that undermine the security of the pastoral domain.

Perkell suggests that there is moral development and aesthetic responsiveness in Tityrus' final speech. The tragedy of Meliboeus' exile and his country's loss of his voice is somewhat mitigated by Tityrus' awakened sensibility. Pastoral poetry has a new voice in store. Courtney regards Eclogue 6 as mid-way between heroic epic and love elegy, and suggests that it occupies the area of deductum carmen. Domenicucci's article is concerned with the sidus Julium and its true location.

78. K. D. White, ``Agricoltura,'' EncVirg 1: 61-66.

Farrell's splendid new study contends that the pattern of allusion in the Georgics can be read as a Vergilian essay in literary history, one that renders more intelligible the course followed in his career--from Theocritus in the bucolic poems, to Hesiod, Aratus, Lucretius, and Homer in the Georgics, and finally to Apollonius and a somewhat different Homer in the epic. Acute observations on Vergil's intertextuality, his models and allusive style preface the author's remarks on Vergil's program of allusion in the Georgics, and the georgic in literary history. White's EncVirg entry is characteristically enlightening and authoritative. Thomas' contribution to The Vergilian Society's panel deals with larger issues of meaning and ideology, and with the question of ``influence,'' or, alternatively, ``allusion'' or ``reference,'' particularly in connection with Lucretius. Briggs responds with the suggestion that truly progressive future work on the Georgics should involve generic limitations in conjunction with new understanding of semiotic texture. He also pleads for renewed examination of the narrative influence of Homer on the Georgics ``to examine the similarities of artistic purpose in Vergil's explicit refashioning of Homeric material, mostly similes used in passages of didactic description, to elevate his didactic poem and observe the Lucretian distinction of honey and bitter medicine.'' (72).

The late Sir Roger Mynors has bequeathed a magisterial edition and commentary on the Georgics with a useful appendix of Greek material (Eratosthenes, Aratus, and Aristotle) and three well-designed indices. Philological and scientific matters, agricultural factors and technology are uppermost; literary matters and argumentation, provocative ideas and personal interpretations of the poem appear to be somewhat muffled particularly when used alongside R. F. Thomas' new edition and markedly literary commentary. Nevertheless, Mynors' Georgics must be reckoned a durable masterpiece. Van Minnen equates Pelusiacus simply with ``Egyptian,'' with the common connotation of linen. Pelusium lies behind English ``blouse!'' Delvigo discusses the respective merits of numina over lumina (Georgics 1, 6). André returns to the Noric plague (Georgics 3, 473ff.) as something more than a medical record. Balavoine aligns the bee army of Georgic 4 with Roman arms in Egypt and suggests that the inspiration for epic rested in the success of Roman campaigns in Egypt. Cervel-lera examines Georgics 4.231-235 and accents Vergil's astronomical knowledge. Habinek explicates the political and ethical aspects of the Bugonia.

Farrell's contribution to the Vergilian Society panel discusses trends and prospects in future studies of the Aeneid and pleads for changes in the present discourse about the epic. The problem, in Farrell's view, is that Vergilian studies have become too insular, have developed their own vocabulary and style without taking note of the critical discourse flowing over other texts of comparable importance. Bakhtin's concept of literary and cultural polyphony has barely affected the treatment of Vergilian ``voices.'' Bakhtin's plastic notion of dialogism may provide an avenue for ``understanding the different voices of the Aeneid not as irreconcilable points-of-view that force us . . . to choose between them, the model familiar from most Aeneid criticism, but as essential ingredients within a single work of art.'' (80). Anderson's response challenges Bakhtin's appreciation of Vergil's richly dialogic epic which fuses past and present ambiguously and which provides a continuous plurality of voices about the revolutionary political and cultural changes at the Republic's close. Fowler's article grapples effectively with instances in language where the focaliser and narrator are expected to coincide but the outcome is otherwise. He draws examples from several books of the epic: Aen. 1.19-22; 25-28; 589-593; 2.449-505; 554-557; 3.1-5; 4.365-370; 6.467-476; 8.720-723. Otis' launching of ``empathy'' into the mainstream of Vergilian criticism has been influential and Italian scholarship has assigned it a central role in its ideological debates that have involved La Penna and G. B. Conte inter alios during the past quarter-century. Fowler advocates that we ``preserve the challenge of the Aeneid.'' Switches of focalisation may serve to remove all moral challenge from the work; but Fowler's preference is for ``creating problems rather than solving them, making things more complex rather than less, confusing rather than clarifying.'' (58). Gransden's compact study of the epic will admirably serve the needs of undergraduate classes in Classical Studies and in Comparative Literature. Horsfall's study concludes that ``the poet was in no sense a scholarly specialist in toponymy, ethnography or geography, but the careful and scrupulous reader . . . will find some evidence for the poet's knowledge, and thus for the presence in his prose sources, of traces of onomastic detail on authentic pre-urban Italy.'' (527). Privitera's article reviews Philip Hardie's Cosmos and Imperium volume (1986). Rieks' study of Vergilian pathos extends to structural design and details. Stahl studies political aspects of the Aeneid, with attention to guilt and innocence in the characterization of Turnus and Aeneas. He argues that it is a misunderstanding to question passionate fighting and hot patriotism in Aeneas; he is a Super-Achilles capable of defeating the ``New Achilles'' of the Sibyl's prophecy (Aen. 6.89). Stahl demonstrates that Vergil's long-range design was to have the reader view Aeneas at the time of Pallas' death like a bereft father, and even more. In Stahl's view, a close reading of context and author's intervention suggests that Vergil viewed the final act as the only morally justified solution to his epic. Traina's article expresses impatience with the multiple ``voices'' of recent criticism but finds the contemporary emphasis on the ``point of view'' both stimulating and productive.

Brown argues that Vergil has borrowed from Georgics 2 not only the essential content of Iopas' song but also its antithetical relationship to the immediately ensuing verses. Iopas' song contrasts ironically with Dido's emotional state and her metaphorical drunkenness reveals a private obsession. McKay treats several aspects of the Aeolus episode and suggests links with Horace, Odes 1.14. O'Hara accents etymological wordplay in Aen. 1.715-722. Staley highlights Aeneas' initial hunt; the creation of a civilized city involves Aeneas in actions which link him with ``Junonian'' natural violence, with storm and hunting. Bowie's remarks on Vergil's allegorical techniques are instructive. Segal suggests that when Dido crosses the threshold she leaves behind, reluctantly, one future for another, and one story-pattern (the self-sufficient queen) for another (the woman abandoned in love). Gordon imagines that Vergil's witnessing naval competitions in the Bay of Naples by the Misenate marines suggested the racing event off Sicilian Trapani. Laudizi interprets lucis (Aen. 6.761) as genitive singular rather than dative plural: Servius has been given by lot the place closest ``to the woods.'' Stok's exhaustive discussion of Aen. 6.847-853 and 12.397 is exemplary. Kinsey corrects R. D. Williams on Aen. 8.503-504. Sansone demonstrates that the Homeric Polyphemus episode (Od. 9) was the paradigm for Vergil's Cacus-Hercules episode, with its distinctive ambivalence and complexities. Woodman argues that Vergil gave his description of Aeneas' shield an extra dimension by linking his pictorial review to Livy' historiographical account. Fantham's comments on Vergilian metamorphosis fuel reflection on larger implications of transformations.

The Enciclopedia entries are fundamental to the study of Vergilian characters. Briquel's article examines 7th century B.C. epigraphical material which refers to a Caeretan Mezentius. Arrigoni and Cristobal provide complementary studies of Vergil's warrior maid. Stahl's critical assessment of the characterization of Aeneas and Turnus also provides fresh impetus to their evaluation (#119). Pascal treats Turnus' profession of devotio in a larger context of legend and history. Suzuki's study of the changing characterization of Helen includes the Aeneid.

Albertson suggests a political parody of Cicero in the Basilica Aemilia relief of an elderly man engaged in constructing Rome's wall. The implications for Vergil's depiction of Drances are intriguing. Bianco et al., provide critical discussion and illustration of a series of rock-face painted graffiti citing Vergil's lines on the African cave of the nymphs (Aen. 1.167-169) in a cave-sanctuary context. Lefèvre's researches into the sculptural program of the Temple of the Palatine Triad has implications for Vergil's reference. Tracy argues that Venus may stand behind Aeneas on the Altar of Augustan Peace. Von Heintze provides an overall perspective on the vexed question of the Vergil portrait.

Davis includes Georgics 2.39-46 in his study of Horace's `poetic' sea voyage reflecting upon Vergil's epic enterprise. Muñeva assembles mountainous landscapes and ponders their poetic resonances. Radke traces the route of the diplomatic mission of 37 B.C. which included Horace and Vergil in the journey. Boyd shows how Ovid (Met. 1.274-282) transforms and corrects Aen. 1.124-141. Solodow discovers Vergilian echoes in Ovid, Met. 11.492-493, and Seneca the Younger, NQ 3.27,14. Gallus and Varius Rufus occupy the limelight. Merriam extols the Qasr Ibrim papyrus fragment as professional material and concrete evidence of Gallus as elegist, but discounts Gallus as among the originators of love-elegy at Rome. Noonan provides a conjectural (restored) text for the exchange of songs implied by the papyrus fragment. Varius is treated to a comprehensive study by Cova, countered in part by Jocelyn. Gigante provides a welcome account of the literary côterie of the Neapolitan shores, with particular reference to Philodemus and Vergil, and to recent exciting readings of recovered carbonized fragments from the Villa of the Papyri (L. Calpurnius Piso?) where excavations are once again in progress.

Capponi studies contrasts in the regatta of Aen. 5. Della Corte studies aposiopesis at Aen. 1.135 (quos ego . . . sed motos). Ewald highlights a striking pattern of end-rhyming. Fruyt's article includes a comprehensive bibliography on metaphor and metonymy. Nisbet concentrates on passages where Vergil's bucolic idiosyncrasy appears in its most undiluted form. The final verses of Ecl. 10 are particularly characteristic for they contain repetition, epanalepsis, a delicate oxymoron, a soft feminine caesura and typical bucolic diaeresis, parenthesis, artificial distribution of words, a diminutive, and a touch of whimsy--with the implication that the audience, like the animals, have had their fill! Nisbet ends his inquest into the bucolic signature-tune with the comment: ``That is what [the bucolic style] is like''(14). O'Hara notes that Vergil's etymological wordplay (Aen. 3.209-213, 225-228, and Georg. 1.316-334) is modelled on etymological aetiologies in the Argonautica. Scargliarini argues that Vergil's architectural vignettes are more allusive than descriptive. Stephens tracks animal imagery, suffering and predatory, and the victims of attack . Her comprehensive review of animal (and human) furor and suffering is valuable, not least because she demonstrates that the animal imagery is used ``to express a perception of man as essentially and irremediably flawed and to suggest from his defective nature come his suffering and failure'' (108).

Heuzé argues that the nature of admiration in Vergil arises chiefly from what attracts the viewer's notice. Vergil tends to move from wonder to commiseratio, and the obect of admiration is most commonly connected with the city--Troy, Carthage, and Rome. Weber deals with Aen. 4.80-83, 388-392 and 7.328-329.

Homer continues to dominate recent study of influences and patterns, but fresh departures in Homeric scholarship have yet to be integrated into the subject in order to assess the impact more effectively. Lonsdale's treatment of simile and ecphrasis offers new insights into both devices in both epic poets. O'Hara's searching analysis of Aen. 3.270-273 reveals traces of Homer's epics, Hesiod and Apollonius, and underscores Vergil's undoubted mastery of both archaic and Alexandrian epic. Hardie treats the cosmic afflatus in Aeschylus' opera and provides a valuable comparison of the Aeneid and Oresteia. His article will no doubt excite scholars to deliberate along comparable lines with works of Sophocles and Euripides in mind. Miguet's article reminds readers of Platonic influence (especially Timaeus) on Vergil's creative genius.

Görler's exhaustive entry on Vergil's obtrectatores offers provocative and instructive comments. Winkler argues that Vergil's epic underlies Satire 11, culminating at vv. 180-181. Kubiak aligns Aen. 4.494-497, 507-508, and 648-651 with Lucan's text. Bodoh provides stylistic analyses of Aen. 2.201-227 and Satyricon 29-53. Petronius offers a parody of the Vergilian passage and a subtle critique of Vergil's art. Hardie advocates the use of post-Vergilian epic as a critical aid in our own reading of Vergil. His article treats Vergil's Camilla and Statius' Parthenopaeus as versions of the ``failure of the ephebe'' topic. Laudizi's study of Silius Italicus underlines the Flavian poet's thoughtful, organic reworking of Vergil's themes and structures; he evidently set out to restore traditional historical epic by countering Lucan's overriding pessimism and cynical deconstruction of Vergil's epic. Guerrini finds echoes of Aeneas and the Sibyl in young Titus' encounter with the priest Sostratus in the Aphrodite sanctuary. Finkelpearl concludes that Vergilian echoes in the Metamorphoses produce a folk-tale that is epic, a Psyche who resembles Aeneas. Najock's statistical study indicates that the vocabulary of the Pervigilium Veneris shows less sophistication than that of Vergil's Bucolics. Solimano edits the 3rd century A.D. African Letter of Dido to Aeneas. Feeney's article extends from Homer to Milton.

Footnotes are plentiful and packed with titles of consequence ranging from manuscripts to pictorial representation. McKay responds and advocates more involvement by classicists: ``the study of Nachleben is no camouflage, no asylum for classical `burnouts,' no place for vague thinking and unsophisticated responses.''

Hollander's insistence that Dante relied on the text of Vergil has enhanced the importance of Vergil in Dante scholarship and excited fresh evaluation of Vergil's role in the poem. Study of medieval mss. and Christian allegorization of Vergil remains a top priority in scholarship: Virginia Brown's role as director of the Catalogus Translationum project is widely acclaimed. Doob's study of the labyrinth accents the Vergilian labor and its decisive influence in his epic and in the medieval tradition. Kasten's study of the Dido episode in medieval dress reveals that Aeneas is no longer dominated by fate and pietas but must answer to virtues of nobility and allegiance to his position. Dido's passion is open to criticism, but Aeneas is portrayed as an insensitive, contradictory, if not calculating, actor. Shapiro's study of ecphrasis in Vergil and Dante sheds fresh light on Vergil's artistry.

Maffeo Vegio's supplement to Vergil's epic remains popular material for research and criticism. Robert Miola (``Vergil in Shakespeare: From Allusion to Imitation,'' Vergil at 2000: Commemorative Essays on the Poet and His Influence, J. D. Bernard, ed. [New York 1986]) observed how ``surprisingly slight and desultory is the extant criticism on Vergil's presence in Shakespeare's art'' (241). It is encouraging to find The Tempest in the foreground this year. Kallendorf (# 4) registers other advances and new directions in research involving Vergil and the Bard of Avon (91-94).

468. M. Romanos, ``Las fuentes virgilianas de un commentarista de Góngora,'' BUENOS AIRES 373-382.

Cauchi's resurrection of Harrington's somewhat eccentric ``period piece'' offers insights into contemporary responses to Vergil's Sixth Aeneid. Dryden and Milton offer inexhaustible resources for ``classical'' explicators. Huxley's address comments on a few limited passages and considers Milton both as Latinist and adroit imitator of the kind of hexameters one finds in the Eclogues and Aeneid. Huxley argues that only Milton's pastorals capture the Virgilian spirit. Apart from Epitaphium Damonis, which is pure Vergil, Ovid was Milton's first love and preferred model for composition. Classical and Miltonic scholars will find much food for thought by reading Huxley's provocative essay.

496. A. Traina, ``Giovanni Pascoli,'' EncVirg 3: 998-1005.

T. S. Eliot, Valéry, Pascoli, Sackville-West, and Ungaretti have the lion's share of scholarly attention this year. Lord Dacre's presidential address on Virgil ``for a castaway's reading,'' assesses the appreciable facets and unique qualities of Vergil's poetry in Latin and in translation, where Dryden is best in his view. Burgess treats Mookie and Aeneas and their progress with heroic grace through a world that is murky until the final epiphany where the landscape of ambiguity is revealed as our own. Huxley and Marx offer poems inspired by Vergil in Latin and in English respectively.

504. V. Varese, ``Pietro Metastasio,'' EncVirg 3: 503-504.

Koch's review of operas with the Aeneid as inspiration is exemplary. Vergilian studies owe much to the industry and insights provided by Draheim, Koch, and now Schneider in this important area. Newmyer refers to works by André Campra, Pierre de la Garde, Michel de Monteclair, Francesco Busanello and Pier Francesco Cavalli, and Pietro Metastasio. English eighteenth-century versions, after Purcell, were less noteworthy judging by the antics of Stephen Storace and James Hook.

Manuscript illuminations, frescoes, tapestries, paintings, woodblocks and book illustrations are all in the foreground. Maier's illustrated article on illustrators' responses to the killing of Turnus is aligned with contemporary criticism of the vexed ending of the epic. The Enciclopedia entries provide some illustrations and abundant bibliography for the curious and adventurous Vergilian scholar.
