A Commentary on Virgil, Aeneid XI
Lee M. Fratantuono
This commentary considers Book XI of Virgil's Aeneid as the key book in which the poet explicates his great themes: the ascendancy of Italy over Troy, the ultimate triumph of Diana over Venus, and the beginning of the process by which Aeneas prepares to assume the wrath of Juno, as he is foiled in his plan to win the war in Latium at one stroke by seizing the city by secret infantry assault. The commentary both expands on and complements the coverage of other works on the book; in particular, it provides a new appraisal of Virgil's Camilla, in which the speculation is raised that the character may reflect pre-existing folklore traditions about female lycanthropy. The close connections between Books 11 and 5 of the epic are also explored in detail, as are the links between Camilla and Pallas.

Madness Unchained: A Reading of Virgil's Aeneid
Lee M. Fratantuono
The book aims at providing a coherent guide to the entirety of Virgil's Aeneid, with analysis of every scene and, in some cases, every line of crucial passages. The book tries to provide a guide to the vast bibliography and scholarly apparatus that has grown around Virgil studies (especially over the past century), and to offer some critical study of what Virgil's purpose and intent may have been in crafting his response to Augustus' political ascendancy in Rome, Rome's history of near-constant civil strife, and the myths of Rome's origins and their conflicting Trojan, Greek, and native Italian origins.

This first critical, variorum edition of El pastor de Filida by Luis Gálvez de Montalvo (Madrid, 1582) and edited by Professor Julián Arribas Rebollo of Ohio Wesleyan University, resolves all prior textual problems and offers a definitive text upon which critics and scholars may base their studies. The exhaustive critical apparatus and abundant footnotes facilitate the interpretation of this pastoral romance, one of the pastoral genre's most important contributions to the development of 16th-century Spanish narrative.
