Description
Virgil's Bucolica is a foundational work of Italian poetry, drawing on the Greek pastoral tradition. This edition, first published in 1977, provides a comprehensive commentary on the Eclogues, setting the poems in historical context and exploring their distinctive contribution to the genre. Robert Coleman's introduction and analysis offer insights into the poet's use of language, style, and subject matter, as well as the influence of Theocritus on Vergil's work. This is the fullest English translation of the Eclogues to have appeared in print, making it an essential resource for students and scholars of Latin poetry. Suitable for university students and those interested in Latin poetry, this edition is a valuable addition to any library.
