Eclogues and Georgics by Vergil
James Bradley Wells shares his poet's soul and scholar's eye in this thought-provoking new translation of two of Vergil's early works, the Eclogues and Georgics. With its emphasis on a natural rather than stylized rhythm, Eclogues and Georgics honours the original spirit of ancient Roman poetry.

Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 b.c.), known as Vergil, was born near Mantua at the end of the Roman Republic. He was the most famous poet of his age and his Aeneid gave the Romans a great national epic equal to the Greeks', celebrating their city's origins and the creation of their empire. Vergil is also credited with The Eclogues and The Georgics.
