Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic study, Brooks Otis presents Virgil as a radically different poet from any of his Greek or Roman predecessors. Virgil molded the ancient epic tradition to his own Roman contemporary aims and succeeded in making mythical and legendary figures meaningful to a sophisticated, unmythical age. Otis begins and ends his study with the Aeneid and includes chapters on the Bucolics and the Georgics. A new foreword by Ward W. Briggs, Jr., places Otis’s groundbreaking achievement in the context of past and present Virgilian scholarship.

Book excerpt: Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro) was born on 15 October 70 BC, near Mantua in northern Italy, of peasant stock. His boyhood was spent on his father's farm, in the rich and fertile valley of the River Po, and he was always essentially a countryman at heart; he was shy in company, and did not enter the world of business and politics, but in due course his poetry brought him into close contact with many of the important people of the Roman state, including Maecenas, the leading patron of literature, and the Emperor Augustus himself. -- Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern studies of Virgil's Georgics have begun with the assumption that the poem is an exposition or, more recently, an idealization of rustic life and that the contrasting perspectives in it must all be shown to contribute to a single vision of that life if the poem is to be viewed as a coherent unity. The present study begins with the quite different assumption that we must accept inconsistencies in the Georgics as real, because the poem is a series of meditations upon quite different visions of rustic life and their implications for understanding the human condition and the nature of civilization. Mr. Miles discusses the poem as an assessment of conflicting efforts by contemporary Romans to find an answer or an alternative to the disruptions of the Late Republic in idealizations of country life and of Rome's agrarian past. -- Front book jacket flap.
