Full red cloth, silver spine lettering; issued without dust jacket. Fine. A tight, clean copy with no faults. Octavo, 49 pages includin…g notes. Vergil s Eclogues presents ten pastoral poems that established the foundational mode of European bucolic verse, here rendered into English by Barbara Hughes Fowler. The Eclogues, his earliest confirmed work, were composed in part out of political considerations: when the Roman authorities threatened to seize his family s land, Vergil s appeal in the form of Eclogue IX won a stay. Eclogue I appears to be a thank-you for that favor. Barbara Hughes Fowler provides a new American verse translation of Vergil s Eclogues. An accomplished translator, Fowler renders the poet s words into an English that is contemporary while remaining close to the spirit of the original. In an introduction to the text, she compares the treatment of the pastoral form by Vergil and Theocritus, illuminating the ways in which Vergil borrowed from and built upon the earlier poet s work, and thereby moved the genre in a new direction.
