Reading backwards through time from modern to ancient, Juan Christian Pellicer gives us extraordinarily sensitive readings of Wordsworth and Auden, Stoppard and Heaney, which in turn sensitize us to subtleties in Virgil's poetry. Preposterous Virgil is not only a contribution to our understanding of classical and English literature, but an elegant demonstration of their interdependence and mutual illumination. -- John Talbot, Associate Professor of English, Brigham Young University, USA
