"Walking through Elysium stresses the subtle and intricate ways writers across time
and space wove Vergil's underworld in Aeneid 6 into their works. These allusions operate
on many levels, from the literary and political to the religious and spiritual. Aeneid
6 reshaped prior philosophical, religious, and poetic traditions of underworld descents,
while offering a universalizing account of the spiritual that could accommodate prior
as well as emerging religious and philosophical systems. Vergil's underworld became
an archetype, a model flexible enough to be employed across genres, and periods, and
among differing cultural and religious contexts. The essays in this volume speak to
Vergil's incorporation of and influence on literary representations of underworlds,
souls, afterlives, prophecies, journeys, and spaces, from sacred and profane to wild
and civilized, tracing the impact of Vergil's underworld on authors such as Ovid,
Seneca, Statius, Augustine, and Shelley, from Pagan and Christian traditions through
Romantic and Spiritualist readings. Walking through Elysium asserts the deep and lasting
influence of Vergil's underworld from the moment of its publication to the present
day."
