"Virgilian studies in England were raised to a new plane with the publication of R.G. Austin's commentary on Aeneid II (1964). His Aeneid IV (1955) had given a slightly meagre foretaste of the riches to be revealed in the editions of Aeneid II, I (1971), and VI. Austin's contribution to our understanding of the Aeneid now stands comparision with Heinze's or Norden's."--Journal of Roman Studies. "Throughout, Austin's characteristic sensitivity and refined judgement combine with careful scholarship to present a balanced, sound commentary on this most difficult and crucial book of Virgil's epic poem."--Classical World.

'This is a masterly book: lucid, objective, sane: a great comfort...With patient observation and sensitive perception of essentials, abetted by careful scholarship judiciously applied, Mr. Camps continually puts forward suggestions that will interest and excite students of diverse temperament and ability...The book should be in the hands of all students of Vigil, of whatever age.'
Virgil was an ancient Roman poet, the author of the Eclogues, the Georgics and the Aeneid, the last being an epic poem of twelve books that became the Roman Empire's national epic.
