This 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.Masters, Jamie is the author of 'Poetry and Civil War in Lucan's Bellum Civile' with ISBN 9780521414609 and ISBN 0521414601.
