Women in Virgil                              11/5/98
Dear Heidi,

I'm afraid you've asked a very large question.  I have spoken a little to this 
question in my book, which you may know (Poetic Allusion and Poetic Embrace in 
O and V).  That Virgil, to me, is a sympathetic and compelling writer is 
evident from his narrative.  His women are convincing portraits, noble and 
real.  
Hope this helps.

Alden Smith
