Description

Madness Triumphant: A Reading of Lucan's Pharsalia presents the most detailed and comprehensive analysis of Lucan's epic poem examining the civil war between Caesar and Pompey in English scholarship. Professor Fratantuono explores the Pharsalia as an epic investigation of fury and madness in Rome during Nero's reign, proceeding chapter by chapter and book by book through Lucan's masterwork. The study unfolds the thesis that Lucan crafted an epic response to both Virgil and Ovid, establishing this work as essential reading for scholars of classical literature, Roman history, and epic poetry traditions. This scholarly volume builds on Fratantuono's previous analyses of Virgil and Ovid, offering readers a rigorous examination of how Lucan used the civil war narrative as a vehicle for exploring psychological and political chaos in the classical world.

Key Features
