Présentation de l'éditeur
Virgil's Georgics, by common consent one of the greatest poems in western literature, purports to be a didactic poem on agriculture, but its true subject is man and his place in literature and society. It is also a landmark in the use of the natural world as material for literature, and in the history of man's attitude towards his environment. The object of this commentary is to present the poet's meaning and (as far as possible) his choice of expression in the hope of achieving fuller understanding and enjoyment of the poetry. The volume includes the late Sir Roger's Oxford Classical Text of the Georgics together with apparatus criticus, as well as an appendix of Greek sources. After Mynors's death (in 1989) R. G. M. Nisbet added a short Preface to the Commentary and compiled an index.
Biographie de l'auteur
Eminent Roman poet, Virgil is famous for his incomparable epic Aeneid which has greatly influenced literature through the ages. Son of an affluent landowner, Virgil was sent to Milan, Rome and Naples to study rhetoric, mathematics, and medicine. He became one of the ''Alexandrians" - a group of poets influenced by Greek bards of the 3rd century. His early works include the poetic collection Bucolica (37 B. C.; 10 books), and the informative Georgics (29 B. C.; 4 books). After the Battle of Actium in 31 B. C. Virgil was assigned by the victorious emperor Augustus to write about his rule. This resulted in his magnum opus Aeneid on which he worked from 30 to 19 B. C. Spread over 12 books; it vividly captures the splendour of the Roman Empire and made Virgil a legend.

Paperback. Etat : New. New softcover in glossy printed wraps. Pages are clean and free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (5.98 x 0.62 x 9.02 inches) Includes a bibliography, appendix, and three indexes. 440 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Virgil's Georgics, by common consent is one of the great poems of Western literature, purports to be a didactic poem on agriculture, but its true subject is man and his place in nature and society. It is also a landmark in the use of the natural world as material for literature, and in the history of man's attitude to his environment. The poem is of special interest because Virgil brings to bear his own sympathetic understanding as well as his wide reading in Greek and Latin literature. This definitive commentary by the late Sir Roger Mynors presents the poet's meaning in such a way as to bring about a fuller understanding and enjoyment of the poetry, and should be an invaluable companion for all serious students of Latin literature.
