More about the book
This parody offers a humorous reinterpretation of Virgil's Aeneid, focusing on the first and fourth books. Through English burlesque, it transforms the epic tale of Aeneas, the Trojan hero destined to establish Rome, into a comical narrative filled with absurd situations and exaggerated characters. The work satirizes serious themes, presenting a lighthearted perspective on a classic text. As a facsimile reprint, it preserves the charm of the original while aiming to celebrate and promote literary heritage.
