The Eclogues of Virgil
This is a small collection of non-epic poems written in the pastoral style. This type of poetry is enduringly beautiful as it conjures up the sounds, scents, and images of the countryside. Virgil is one of the best-known of all the Roman authors, and these poems are a good example of why that is.
Vergiliana
In Vergiliana Egil Kraggerud collects together over 100 new, revised, and previously published discussions of textual issues in Vergil’s Eclogues, Georgics, and the Aeneid. Through these and in his Introduction, the author argues for a less conservative approach to these texts than has been fashionable among 20th century editors and commentators. This profoundly learned, engaging and valuable contribution is a critical resource for anyone working on the works of Vergil at both under- and postgraduate level, written by one of the most respected scholars in the field.
Virgil
Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro) was born on 15 October 70 BC, near Mantua in northern Italy, of peasant stock. His boyhood was spent on his father's farm, in the rich and fertile valley of the River Po, and he was always essentially a countryman at heart; he was shy in company, and did not enter the world of business and politics, but in due course his poetry brought him into close contact with many of the important people of the Roman state, including Maecenas, the leading patron of literature, and the Emperor Augustus himself. -- Introduction.
