Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Virgil's Georgics, by common consent is one of the great poems of Western literature, purports to be a didactic poem on agriculture, but its true subject is
man and his place in nature and society. It is also a landmark in the use of the natural world as material for literature, and in the history of man's attitude to his environment. The poem is of special interest because Virgil brings to bear his own sympathetic understanding as well as his wide reading in Greek and Latin literature. This definitive commentary by the late Sir Roger Mynors presents the poet's meaning in such a way as to bring about a fuller understanding and enjoyment of the poetry, and should be an invaluable companion for all serious students of Latin literature.
