I am confident it will be a long time before a translator exceeds the standard that she has set.”—A. M. Juster, Athenaeum Review This is a substantial revision of Sarah Ruden’s celebrated 2008 translation of Vergil’s Aeneid, which was acclaimed by Garry Wills as “the first translation since Dryden’s that can be read as a great English poem in itself.” Ruden’s line-for-line translation in iambic pentameter is an astonishing feat, unique among modern translations. Her revisions to the translation render the poetry more spare and muscular than her previous version and capture even more closely the essence of Vergil’s poem, which pits national destiny against the fates of individuals, and which resonates deeply in our own time. This distinguished translation, now equipped with introduction, notes, and glossary by leading Vergil scholar Susanna Braund, allows modern readers to experience for themselves the timeless power of Vergil’s masterpiece.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionAuthor: VergilRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
