Trade Review
"This is by far the most readable and accessible version of the Eclogues I know, and the most engaging as a poem in its own right. . . . Outstanding." * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
"The translations in this volume succeed in achieving the all-important musicality of effect, while sustaining a delicate balance between the pedestrian and the formal, the mundane and the sublime-the style that [Virgil's] fellow poet Horace famously characterized as 'molle atque facetum' ('refined and witty')." * from the Introduction, by Gregson Davis *
