Slipcase and spine lightly toned and lightly soiled. 1960 Large Hardcover. xxvii 96 pp. Two-color illustrations by Marcel Vertes. Translated into English verse by C.S. Calverley with an introduction by Moses Hadas. "Publius Vergilius Maro 70-19 B.C. known in English as Virgil was perhaps the single greatest poet of the Roman empire-a friend to the emperor Augustus and the beneficiary of wealthy and powerful patrons. Most famous for his epic of the founding of Rome the Aeneid he wrote two other collections of poems: the Georgics and the Bucolics or Eclogues. The Eclogues were Virgil's first published poems. Ancient sources say that he spent three years composing and revising them at about the age of thirty. Though these poems begin a sequence that continues with the Georgics and culminates in the Aeneid they are no less elegant in style or less profound in insight than the later more extensive works. These intricate and highly polished variations on the idea of the pastoral poem as practiced by earlier Greek poets mix political social historical artistic and moral commentary in musical Latin that exerted a profound influence on subsequent Western poetry.
