Vergilius Redivivus : Studies in Joseph Addison's Latin Poetry Transactions, American Philosophical Society (vol. 95, Part 2) (Transactions of the American Philosophical Society)

Haan examines British writer Addison's (1672-1719) Latin poetry. She looks at the intricate intertextual relations between some of his neo-Latin poems and the poetic corpus Virgil as an example of an Augustan poet, though recognizing that the poetry also interacts with other Roman authors. Her main themes are how Virgilian texts were appropriated to a contemporary contexts, and how appreciating Addison's poems requires knowing Virgil.
