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 contains Virgil’s text of the Georgics; Conington’s introduction to and commentary on the Georgics; Philip Hardie’s general assessment of Conington; Monica Gale’s introduction to the Georgics, and also includes Conington’s index.\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\u003eBibliography PHILIP HARDIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to the Georgics MONICA GALE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography MONICA GALE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom The Works of Virgil Volume I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface to Volume I (fifth edition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface to Volume I (second edition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to the Georgics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGEORGICS (Text and Commentary)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the later Didactic poets of Rome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360236470615,"sku":"9781904675228","price":30.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781904675228.jpg?v=1754127073","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/coningtons-virgil-georgics-9781904675228","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
