The meaning of Mr. Tumnus
The faun Mr. Tumnus in C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe evokes a layering of pasts that both Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien identify in their scholarly work as a key characteristic of Virgil’s Aeneid and of classical epic more generally. Tolkien discusses the epic layering of pasts as a shared feature of both Beowulf and the Aeneid, and he describes in letters his adoption of the literary technique of those poems in his fiction. Lew…

Virgil and Joyce
Centers and Peripheries
This chapter argues that change in the perception of Rome's place in the larger world characterizes the Flavian remaking of the principate. In contrast to the old arguments for Flavian centralization and scientific frontiers, the chapter also argues that Flavian culture decentralizes Rome and in fact problematizes the very concept of the center. One of the most straightforward inversions of center and periphery is in Silius representation of Hann…
Virgil and Joyce
James Joyce's Ulysses is a modern version of Homer's Odyssey, but Joyce-who was a better scholar of Latin than of Greek-also was deeply influenced by the Aeneid, Virgil's epic poem about the journey of Aeneas and the foundation of Rome. Joyce wrote Ulysses during the Irish War of Independence, when militants, politicians, and intellectuals were attempting to create a new Irish nation. Virgil wrote the Aeneid when, in the wake of decades of civil …
The "Reassurance of Fratricide" in the Aeneid
Virgil's Aeneid naturalizes Italian unity by projecting it onto the ancient past. By representing the Latin War as a civil war, the Aeneid asserts that the ancient inhabitants of Italy, although temporarily and tragically divided, have always formed a natural unit. The ideology of unified Italy overwrites the historical Roman conquest of the peninsula. Although representations of civil war and poignant descriptions of the deaths of Aeneas' Italia…
