VIRGIL "A truly useful introduction to Vergil and his poetry. Smith combines up-to-date information on the issues with an intelligent and well-written assessment. Highly recommended." Karl Galinsky, University of Texas at Austin "For the newcomer to Virgil, this book will be a welcome introduction to the poet's works and their reception by critics, artists, and scholars through the centuries." Peter E. Knox, University of Colorado, Boulder Incorporating the most up-to-date classical scholarship, Virgilian scholar R. Alden Smith presents a comprehensive introduction to Virgil's literary works and narrative technique. In addition to exploring the historical milieu, this book considers the reception of Virgil's works, citing examples from painting, sculpture, and drama. After analyzing Virgil's three major works - the Eclogues, Georgics, and the great national epic of Rome, the Aeneid - Smith addresses other key topics, including the manuscript tradition and various problems associated with establishment of the text. Virgil's legacy, including his influence on subsequent Latin poetry and later literary figures (e.g., Dante, Cam�es, Milton) is also a feature of this study. Combining scholarly rigor and an accessible writing style, Smith offers an insightful introduction to Virgil and the world in which he lived.
