The whole work is now being reissued in six affordable paperbacks, with new introductions setting the commentary in its context. Well into the twentieth century Conington’s Virgil remained the sine qua non for school and undergraduate students and their teachers; Conington’s commentary is remarkably close and uncompromising in its engagement with the detail of Virgil’s Latin, as well as its literary sensitivity; it still has much to offer the modern reader.  This volume includes Conington’s general introduction to Virgil, his introduction to the Aeneid, his introduction to Books I –VI, Virgil’s text and Conington’s commentary to Books I–II. It also includes Philip Hardie’s general assessment of Conington, along with Anne Rogerson’s introduction to Conington’s Aeneid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to The Works of Virgil PHILIP HARDIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVII; Bibliography PHILIP HARDIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXV; Introduction to Conington's Aeneid ANNE ROGERSON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXVII; Bibliography ANNE ROGERSON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXXXVII; From The Works of Virgil Volume II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface to Volume II (fourth edition) v;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface to Volume II (second and third editions), vii;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to the Aeneid, xix;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe story of Aeneas' wanderings, xlv;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Aeneid and the epic cycle, lxiv;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvidence from ancient writers as to the composition of the Aeneid, lxvi;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAENEID Books I-II (Text and Commentary), 1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360236306775,"sku":"9781904675235","price":30.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781904675235.jpg?v=1754127071","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/coningtons-virgil-aeneid-i-ii-9781904675235","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
