Virgil Aeneid (Wordsworth Classics of World Literature)
Wordsworth Editions Ltd 1999 1853267775 / 9781853267772 Paperback Like New
"Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked. (Near Fine), light handling.() Something greater than the Iliad is being brought to birth', wrote Virgil's contemporary Propertius, in Western literature's most famous flourish of advance publicity. The Aeneid was published after Virgil's death, and at once established itself as Rome's national poem. The hero Aeneas flees from the sack of Troy, and after much suffering carves out a foothold for the future Romans in Italy. While defining and celebrating what it means to be Roman, the Aeneid confronts, with a bleak pathos, the tragedy involved in Rome's destiny. ID: mon0000060072"

Virgil Aeneid (Wordsworth Classics)
Wordsworth Editions Ltd 1997 1853262633 / 9781853262630 Paperback New
"Clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases.() Translated by Michael J. Oakley The Aeneid is Virgil's Masterpiece. His epic poem recounts the story of Rome's legendary origins from the ashes of Troy and proclaims her destiny of world dominion. This optimistic vision is accompanied by an undertow of sadness at the price that must be paid in human suffering to secure Rome's future greatness. The tension between the public voice of celebration and the tragic private voice is given full expression both in the doomed love of Dido and Aeneas, and in the fateful clash between the Trojan leader and the Italian hero, Turnus. Hailed by T.S. Eliot as 'the classic of all Europe', Virgil's Aeneid has enjoyed a unique and enduring influence on European literature, art and politics for the past two thousand years.
