"This book concerns the rhetoric of visual manipulation that provokes readers to envision
what is written on the page, treating visual details in ancient epic not as mere scene-setting
information or enhancements to any given story, but as cues for performing specific
imaginative processes. Through a series of close readings centred primarily on Virgil's
Aeneid, the book aims to show that the experiential effects that Virgil puts into
play do serious narrative work of their own by structuring lines of sight, both visual
and emotive, and shifting them about in ways that move readers into and out of the
visual and emotional worlds of the story's characters. Whereas most studies of narrative
visualization concern seeing, this one concerns watching. And listening. And trying
to keep up. Informing the book's theoretical approach are recent cognitivist and constructivist
studies of how audiences watch narrative films and make sense of what they are being
given to see. By looking to the world of narrative films, where directors use shots
craftily edited to cue audiences to 'fill in' for what the camera itself cannot show,
the book locates new narrative content lurking in old places, brought to life within
the imaginations of readers. The end result is a new approach to the question of how
ancient epic tales convey narrative content through visual means"
