Sinossi
Excerpt from Bucolics and Georgics: Edited With Introduction and Notes
Traces of the poet's early taste for philosophy, here first expressed, appear in a few well-known passages of his later poems, e.g. The song of Silenus in Ecl. Vi the references to didactic poetry in G. Ii. 477 sqq.; the song of Iopas, Aen. I. 742 - 6; and the exposition of the 'anima Mundi,' Aen. Vi. 724 sqq.; as also in his admiration for and intimate acquaintance with the writings of Lucretius.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores one of the most enduring monuments not only of Roman literary fame but also the fortunes of Rome itself: Virgil's Aeneid. The author explains that the story took ten or twelve years to write, and was not finished at the author's death. We learn that some scholars have suggested that the author arranged the story in prose before writing the different parts in no certain order. The author highlights scholarly consensus that any inconsistencies can be seen as a product of the work's origins rather than as reflections on the author's ability. Contextualizing the Aeneid as the final work of a poet who remained a central figure in literary circles for centuries, and whose works informed poets like Milton, the author highlights its significance as a repository of Roman religious and political thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781333902278_0
