Deryck Williams' classic edition of the \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e, covering books I-VI. It includes the Latin text, with an English introduction, and an extensive commentary and notes by this renowned Virgilian scholar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for upper school and university students, the commentary discusses the life and works of Virgil, the legend of Aeneas, structure and themes, and Virgil’s hexameter. It interprets the poetic methods and intentions of the \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e, explaining not only what Virgil says, but how he says it and why he chooses to express it in that particular way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWilliams considers the limitations and similarities of diction from English poets—particularly Spenser and Milton—to illuminate the literary impact of the Virgilian passage. Williams' aim was to be \"concise rather than omissive,\" and his notes remain an example of clarity and good sense for any student approaching the first half of the \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e in whole or in part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47433269739756,"sku":"9781853994968","price":68.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781853994968.jpg?v=1774765299","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/virgil-aeneid-i-vi-by-virgil-9781853994968","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
