Overview

Virgil in English Verse presents a selection of Virgil's most celebrated works, including the Eclogues and the first six books of the Aeneid, rendered in English verse. This collection offers readers access to the foundational texts of Roman literature through the interpretations of Baron Charles Synge Christopher Bowen Bowen.

The Eclogues, with their pastoral themes and idyllic settings, are beautifully complemented by the epic narrative of the Aeneid, chronicling Aeneas's journey and the founding of Rome.
