Book excerpt: "For T. S. Eliot, Virgil was not merely one of the great masters but 'our classic, the classic of all Europe'. Perhaps no other writer has generated a longer and larger tradition of commentary, translation and imitation." "From Chaucer to W. H. Auden and Robert Lowell, Virgil is a defining presence in English poetry. The Eclogues and Georgics inspired the pastorals of Spenser, Milton and Pope; the Aeneid's pathos, spiritual insights and long-suffering hero - who struggles with doubt, despair and the loss of everything he loves to found the Roman race - made it the model epic. Dryden's complete Virgil in heroic couplets sums up the supersedes his predecessors, yet later translators include Wordsworth, William Morris, Robert Bridges and Cecil Day Lewis. This selection consists largely of extracts from straight translations, along with a number of pieces illustrating Virgil's influence; celebrated episodes like the death of Dido and Aeneas's descent into the underworld appear in several different versions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Virgil written by Robert Deryck Williams and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: This study of Latin hexameter poetry results in part from my efforts in recent years to arouse greater interest among my students in the perfection of Vergilian meter, in part from a growing conviction that new and valuable criteria might be developed to define more clearly the metrical procedures not only of Vergil but of other hexameter poets as well. My investigations into the frequencies of the metrical schemata (or "patterns," the term I prefer) and the manner in which they are used took at first the form of charts and percentage tables, and these I have translated, I hope, in such a way that my findings will be meaningful and of value to teachers and students of Latin poetry on all academic levels. -- Preface.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Translation of the First Six Books of Vergil's Aeneid In 37 the Eclogues (shepherd's Poems) were published. Written in imitation of the Idylls of Theocritus (275 there is little to commend in point of literary form. The subject-matter, however, of the ten pieces gives marked evidence of Virgil's ability. The introduction of fields and skies, brooks, hills, stars, and shepherds, identify ing Italian thought and feeling with foreign literary material, - produced a new individ ual type in Latin literature. If it be remem bered from this work that the terms of nature and the country-side were the terms in which the poet most naturally expressed himself, his seeming failure in the Eneid to give an adequate picture of the Heroic Age will be justified.
