In this volume of papers 19 authors demonstrate on the basis of selected examples how Virgil's works, and above all his Aeneid, have been received by modern authors. The examples span six centuries (from the 15th to the 20th century). They are not limited to the Latin reception, but also present texts from various genres and languages (including Latin, German, English, French, Italian etc.). The volume thus provides an impressive review of the variety of the modern reception of Virgil.
