About This Book
"In The American Aeneas, John C. Shields exposes a significant cultural blindness within American consciousness. Noting that the biblical myth of Adam has long dominated ideas of what it means to be American, Shields argues that an equally important component of our nation's cultural identity - a secular one deriving from the classical tradition - has been seriously neglected."--BOOK JACKET.
