This chapter addresses that gap with evidence from one country and from one angle, by examining the perspectives and attitudes of a group of UK school teachers and their 15–16-year-old students toward teaching and studying the text in Latin. It evaluates the empirical evidence gathered from students and their teachers at three state-maintained comprehensive schools in the United Kingdom. The chapter seeks to establish how the Aeneid is perceived by 21st-century teenage students and teachers. It also evaluates the ways in which the Aeneid is read as a modern story in 21st-century educational contexts. Although Latin literature is not part of the mandatory curriculum, maintained secondary schools are required to provide opportunities for students to study English literature until the age of 16, and students study a range of texts variously labelled as “heritage,” “high-quality,” and “challenging”.
