The Solitary Sphere in the Age of Virgil
Kachuck, Aaron J. (Junior Research Fellow in Latin and Neo-Latin Literature, Junior Research Fellow in Latin and Neo-Latin Literature, Trinity College, Cambridge)
Overturning centuries of scholarship that imagined life in the Roman world as happening only in society, Aaron J. Kachuck delivers a revelatory new perspective: ancient Rome not only possessed a vibrant sense of solitude, but its solitary sphere also lies behind its greatest masterpieces, from Cicero's philosophy to the life's works of Virgil, Horace, and Propertius.
