Books by David Quint

4. Christine Perkell, editor, Reading Vergil’s Aeneid: An Interpretative Guide , and David Quint, Virgil’s Double Cross: Design and Meaning in the Aeneid . Two books, excellent in their own right, and an antidote to the common view that everything in the humanities is bankrupt these days, or just “French theory,” or whatever.  Of course you have to read them at the same time you are studying The Aeneid.
