In this book, author Yasmin Syed analyzes the formative influence the poem exerted on its broad audience of educated Romans. Syed analyzes Roman pedagogy and reading practices as well as ancient beliefs about the powerful influence of poetry. Her study considers these cultural components together with the aspects of identity that define the \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e's characters. By doing so, Syed shows how Vergil's ancient audiences saw themselves--their experiences, goals, and values--reflected in the poem and guided by it. In particular, Syed's treatment of gender and ethnicity brings to light the key role of Vergil's poem in the formation of Romanness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yasmin Syed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472039164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472039166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.79d","brand":"Yasmin Syed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070731088127,"sku":"9780472039166","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a612568-51fb-45ae-8373-a93dfb31210d.jpg?v=1685432035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vergils-aeneid-and-the-roman-yasmin-syed-9780472039166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
