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.

Download or read book A Companion to the Study of Virgil written by Nicholas Horsfall and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Companion to the Study of Virgil" is not yet another introduction to Virgil's poetry, nor is it the thinking man's version of the bibliographies in ANRW. The editor and three outside contributors offer a guide both to the key problems and to the most intelligent discussions. They do not offer 'solutions' to all the difficulties, but are not frightened to admit that "this" we do not know, that "that" is a mess, and that "there" more work is to be done. The book is aimed at graduate students and university teachers. Many of the issues are difficult and artificial simplifications seem to offer no advantages. Apart from ample discussion of the poems and the main issues they raise, the book offers chapters on the life of Virgil (Horsfall), his style (Horsfall), his influence on later Latin epic (W.R. Barnes), on Latin life and culture (Horsfall), and on his MS tradition (Geymonat).

Download or read book The Eclogues of Virgil in English in Hexameter Verse Classic Reprint written by Virgil Virgil and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eclogues of Virgil (in English in Hexameter Verse) The study of some portion of Virgil's poems has long been considered a requisite for students pursuing an extended course of education. Martin Luther when a young man at the University made a thorough study of Cicero, Virgil and other classic authors in preparation for his life work. It is not strange that a man of his genius should find delight in the expressive beauty of Virgil's thoughts and Virgil's style. Many boys and girls in the early part of their classical course have been deeply impressed with the vivid representations and the elegance of these lines; and have had feelings similar to those of a boy fourteen years of age who was reading the story of the overthrow of Troy, and who said to his teacher that if he ever became a rich man, he would like to give the money to rebuild that ancient city. I have long thought it would be a good thing to have Virgil's poems translated into English in hexameter verse for the benefit of those persons who are not able to read them in the language in which Virgil wrote them.

Download or read book Virgil and his Translators written by Susanna Braund and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to offer a critical overview of the long and complicated history of translations of Virgil from the early modern period to the present day, transcending traditional studies of single translations or particular national traditions in isolation to offer an insightful comparative perspective. The twenty-nine essays in the collection cover numerous European languages - from English, French, and German, to Greek, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Slovenian, and Spanish - but also look well beyond Europe to include discussion of Brazilian, Chinese, Esperanto, Russian, and Turkish translations of Virgil. While the opening two contributions lay down a broad theoretical and comparative framework, the majority conduct comparisons within a particular language and combine detailed case studies with in-depth contextualization and theoretical background, showing how the translations discussed are embedded in their own cultures and historical moments. The final two essays are written from the perspective of contemporary translators, closing out the volume with a profound assessment not only of the influence exerted by the major Roman poet on later literature, but also why translation of a canonical author such as Virgil matters, not only as a national and transnational cultural phenomenon, but as a personal engagement with a literature of enduring power and relevance.
