GARCIA JURADO, Francisco. Keys and Documents for a Postmodern Vergil: the 80s of the 20th Century in Spain. Nova tellus [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.1, pp.171-203.  Epub May 05, 2021. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2021.39.1.27548.

In the eighties of 20th century, Vergil was interpreted from a precise and particular approach inspired by Nietzsche. This new vision could be cate­gorized, basically, as the idea of death (Broch), the sickness of poetry (García Calvo), the commemoration (remembrance) of the bimillennium of his death (Colinas), his poetic rereading from a new aesthetics (Borges and Bernhard), the boom of verse translation (Fontán Barreiro) and, finally, the remarkable pictorial rereading of his Eneida (Carlos Franco). Therefore, this essay tries to give an account of a specific decade in Vergil̓s historical reception.

Keywords : Vergil; Posmodernism; Broch; Spain; García Calvo; Colinas; Borges; Bernhard; Fontán Barreiro; Carlos Franco.
