This work by William Young Sellar (1825 1890) was first published
in 1877, when Sellar was well established as Professor of Humanity
at the University of Edinburgh. It is a companion volume to his
equally acclaimed Roman Poets of the Republic and the later
continuation Horace and the Elegaic Poets, all three of which
remain of value to scholars today. The book's ten chapters give an
overview of the Augustan Age and Virgil's life and work in context
(chapters 1-3), then moving to the Eclogues (chapter 4) and the
Georgics (chapters 5-7), before devoting the remaining chapters to
the Aeneid. A detailed table of contents allows the reader to
navigate between analysis of the historical context, Virgil's
literary forms and motives, and general literary interpretation.
This work is both a meticulous work of scholarship, and, as the
affectionate dedication shows, a tribute to the author's passion
for his subject.
