John Conington’s three-volume edition of The Works of Virgil,
begun in 1852, has long been unavailable except in rare second-hand
sets. The whole work is now being reissued in six affordable
paperbacks, with new introductions setting the commentary in its
context. Well into the twentieth century Conington’s Virgil
remained the sine qua non for school and undergraduate students and
their teachers; Conington’s commentary is remarkably close and
uncompromising in its engagement with the detail of Virgil’s
Latin, as well as its literary sensitivity; it still has much to
offer the modern reader. This volume includes Virgil’s text and
Conington’s commentary on Books III–VI, along with
Conington’s index to Books I–VI. It also includes Philip
Hardie’s general assessment of Conington and Anne Rogerson’s
introduction to Conington’s Aeneid.
