Abstract
Abstract:This essay focuses on Daniel O’Quinn’s argument that Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s letter book can be read as a “counter-epic.” Comparing O’Quinn’s approach to other influential accounts of the role of epic in eighteenth-century literature, it explores how translations of and allusions to Virgil’s Aeneid shape the ways in which intercultural contact can be represented and understood.
