About This Book

The volume presents English renderings of the later books of the Latin epic, reporting the Trojan leader's campaigns in Italy with battlefield episodes, divine interventions, and notable personal encounters. Extensive historical and critical notes accompany the translations, explaining classical allusions and translation choices. The collection concludes with shorter poems attributed to the translator and a selection of his prose essays on dramatic theory, satire, and the art of poetry, combining poetic performance with literary criticism and practical commentary.

Transcriber's notes:

P.132. 'daar' is 'dart' in other copy. Changed.

Footnote 124: 'Cleveland' is 'Cleiveland' in other copy, changed.

P.378. 'houshold' changed to 'household'.

Fixed various punctuation.

Please note, the large curly braces that appear in the book are included here, but the tripple small braces replace missing large braces for those devices that cannot display the large ones. If working well then both types of braces will appear in the verses.
