Sandglass (Heritage Club monthly newsletter) laid-in. Slipcase with moderate shelfwear. *** "As Virgil's epitaph states, he wrote successively of pastoral life, of country things, and of deeds of arms. His final masterpiece, in which he related the legend of the coming of Trojan refugees to Italy, both foretold the glory of imperial Rome and measured the human cost of 'the doubtful doom of man'. He is said to have considered it far from finished at the time of his death. Previously he had perfected and published a different kind of poem, The Georgics, which is loosely comparable to such English poems as James Thomson's The Seasons and William Cowper's The Task." - page vii.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents Virgil's didactic epic poem on farming in ancient Rome, covering a wide range of agricultural topics such as viticulture, horticulture, animal husbandry, and beekeeping. Part of a trio of didactic poems Virgil composed under the patronage of Maecenas and Augustus, this book occupies a unique position within the Western literary canon. The author employs the epic form to elevate the quotidian labor of farming, celebrating the significance of agriculture to Roman life, the state, and the gods. Drawing on Hesiod's Works and Days and Lucretius' On the Nature of Things, Virgil advances the tradition of didactic poetry in Latin literature. In doing so, he offers insights into agricultural practices of his era and explores profound themes such as humanity's relationship with nature, the challenges of rural life, and the rewards of cultivating the land.
