Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an influential study of the Eclogues of Virgil, surveys the known textual history and textual criticism to reveal the poems as they were originally written, before centuries of careless transcription and emendation. Conjectural emendations are kept to a minimum as the author focuses on the importance of philological method. The book presents a convincing argument that Virgil's focus was above all didactic, with the intent of improving the moral character of his readers and the broader Roman populace. The author believes this intent has often been missed or downplayed in previous scholarship. The thematic content of the poems, such as the motifs of pastoral simplicity, political propaganda, and esoteric wisdom, is reexamined within the framework of the author's core argument: that Virgil's primary purpose was to offer moral instruction. This book is a significant contribution to Virgilian scholarship and will be of interest to Classicists and literary scholars alike.
