Oxford Readings in Vergil's Aeneid

`The work does display the author's keen sense of Latin style, which will benefit any reader's understanding of composition.' Religious Studies Review, Vol 19, No 4/ October 1993 `The book will no doubt be widely welcomed. It fills, as publishers say, a gap. And of course it contains good things.' Classical Review 'has the benefit of a lucid and well-balanced introductory survey by Stephen Harrison ... All the pieces in it are worth reading.' Greece and Rome 'all readers will learn much from H. ... Readers already familiar with H.'s work will expect meticulous scholarship and close attention to detail; they will not be disappointed. The introduction is written in a commendably clear style and is a model of common sense.' D.E. Hill, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, The Classical Review, Volume XLIII, No. 2, 1993 'Dr. S.J. Harrison ... has given us the most ambitious of this "series", and he is to be congratulated for the great detail of lexicographical, historical, geographical, ethnographical, and other material here presented. This is a book that all Virgilian scholars will need to own and consult, on any of these points, and also for what it can teach them about general Latin usage.' Vergilius, Volume 38 '... it is both comprehensive and detailed, offering comments on historical matters, the literary background, poetic style and diction, and textual problems; it is truly impressive in its learning, thoughtfulness, and occasional originality in particular details. Scholars will consult H.'s notes on diction and usage regularly, and on other matters much to be learned is conveniently collected. David O. Ross, Jr. The University of Michigan.
