Oxford Readings in Vergil's Aeneid

These essays written by such distinguished scholars as C.M. Gowra N.M. Horsfall R.O.A.M. Lyne D.A. West and R.D. Williams constitute a broad range of twentieth-century and classic criticism on Vergil''s Aeneid. Intended as a supplement to standard reading for undergraduate courses in ancient epic poetry the essays are all in English and include several documents gathered from rare out of print or previously inaccessible sources. In addition Harrison offers a general survey of literature on the Aeneid since 1900 containing much additional bibliographical material and brief mention of the work in other languages.
