Darkness Visible: A Study of Vergil’s Aeneid
W. R. Johnson
Darkness Visible: A Study of Vergil's Aeneid is an academic monograph by the American Latinist W. R. Johnson. Published in 1976 by University of California Press, the book presents an interpretation of the Aeneid, an epic by the Roman poet Vergil. Claiming to abandon previously dominant historical-political reading, Johnson argues that the poem is at its heart concerned with the darkness of the human condition.
Darkness Visible was met with mixed reviews with commentators praising its central claims but criticizing its argumentation, style, and bibliographic documentation. The book is also credited with coining the term 'Harvard school' to describe a brand of pessimistic Vergil scholarship produced in the English-speaking world. Even though the designation established itself in academic discourse, it was rejected in 1995 by one of the school's proponents, Wendell Clausen.
