They range from issues in poetics (verse design, allusion) to key themes ('historiographical Dido', religion, pietās). Seven reprinted scholarly articles follow, allowing students and their teachers to engage directly with some of the research that informs the essays and the commentary and to broaden their appreciation of Dido, the Aeneid, Virgil, and the wider historical context. Topics covered include the ethics of hospitality, the interface of intertextuality and psychology in the construction of character, Carthage and Rome as imperial powers, racecraft in Aeneid 4, Virgil's authorial self-fashioning and negotiation of the Augustan new normal, the myth of Troy in Rome's cultural imaginary, and Dido's place within Virgil's philosophy of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ingo Gildenhard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180511946X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805119463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.30d","brand":"Ingo Gildenhard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084291285247,"sku":"9781805119463","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-dido-ingo-gildenhard-9781805119463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
