Description
Virgil's Eclogues by Virgil is a collection of poems that showcases the Roman poet's mastery of language and form. Composed over three years at around thirty, these elegant variations on the pastoral poem blend political, social, historical, artistic, and moral commentary in musical Latin. The result is English poetry, with Len Krisak's vibrant metric translation capturing the music of Virgil's richly textured verse by employing rhyme and other sonic devices. The book features an introduction by scholar Gregson Davis that situates the poems in their original context. Presenting the English on facing pages with the original Latin, this edition provides a unique opportunity to explore Virgil's Eclogues alongside its Latin text.
