Specifikacia Virgil: Eclogues Virgil
Virgil: Eclogues Virgil
Pastoral poetry was probably the creation of the Hellenistic poet Theocritus, and he was certainly its most distinguished exponent in Greek. On publication the Eclogues won immediate acclaim and Vergil's reputation as a major poet was established. Vergil not only transposed the spirit of Greek pastoral into an Italian setting, blending details from the life of his native countryside into the subsequent history of the genre.
In the commentary difficulties of interpretation are elucidated. In this edition Robert Coleman describes the earlier pastoral tradition, sets Vergil's poems in historical perspective and evaluates the poet's distinctive contribution to the genre. Theocritean influences are examined in detail and points of interest in the language, style and subject-matter discussed.
This is the fullest edition of the Eclogues to have appeared in any language and the first in English
