Description

This 1992 book is a major literary re-evaluation of Lucan's epic poem, the Bellum Civile ('The Civil War'). Its main purpose is to bring out the implications of one basic premise: this poem is not only about civil war, but uses the metaphor of civil war (i.e. self-destruction and internal discord) as the basis for the way it tells its story.
