Originally published in 1944, this book contains English metrical translations of Virgil's Eclogues and Georgics. The translations were produced by the British poet R. C. Trevelyan (1872-1951). This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the works of Virgil and translation.

The ""Eclogues"", Vergil's earliest confirmed work, were composed in part out of political considerations. This translation renders the poet's words into an English that is contemporary while remaining close to the spirit of the original.

Book XII brings Virgil's Aeneid to a close, as the long-delayed single combat between Aeneas and Turnus ends with Turnus' death - a finale that many readers find more unsettling than triumphant. In this, the first detailed single-volume commentary on the book in any language, Professor Tarrant explores Virgil's complex portrayal of the opposing champions, his use and transformation of earlier poetry (Homer's in particular) and his shaping of the narrative in its final phases. In addition to the linguistic and thematic commentary, the volume contains a substantial introduction that discusses the larger literary and historical issues raised by the poem's conclusion; other sections include accounts of Virgil's metre, later treatments of the book's events in art and music, and the transmission of the text. The edition is designed for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students and will also be of interest to scholars of Latin literature.

Virgil's Georgics is considered one of the greatest poems in western literature. It purports to be a didactic poem on agriculture, but its true subject is man and his place in literature and society. Sir Roger Mynors's definitive text is presented here, and his accessible commentary is the fullest understanding of the work available for students and scholars.
