A foundational discussion of elegiac experimentation in the \u003cem\u003eEclogues\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGeorgics\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAeneid\u003c\/em\u003e 1-6 explores the aesthetic and conceptual development of destructive Vergilian \u003cem\u003eamor\u003c\/em\u003e (passion). The unique emphasis of subsequent chapters on the amatory and funerary elegiac dimensions of crucial episodes in \u003cem\u003eAeneid\u003c\/em\u003e 7-12 illuminates the intergeneric character of Vergil's martial \u003cem\u003emaius opus\u003c\/em\u003e. A detailed examination of the inter- and intratextual strands of pivotal moments in the \u003cem\u003eAeneid\u003c\/em\u003e evinces Vergil's intense engagement with literary predecessors and contemporaries, his evolving artistic vision, and his enduring influence on subsequent Roman poets. Each chapter of this volume enhances our understanding of the generic complexity of the \u003cem\u003eAeneid\u003c\/em\u003e, presenting revisionary readings of key episodes and transformative interpretations of its main characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah L.
