Georgics Book

Virgil's Georgics, considered to be one of the great poems of Western literature, is ostensibly a didactic poem on agriculture. Challenging this idea, the late Sir Roger Mynors argues that the poem's true subject is humanity and its place in nature and society.

This commentary examines Virgil's meaning and choice of expression to provide a fuller understanding of the poetry.Read More
