Claves y documentos para un Virgilio posmoderno: los años ochenta del siglo XX en España

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 Vergil´s historical reception.
