Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
'Gripping ... A remarkable achievement' TLS On his deathbed in 19
BCE, Vergil asked that his epic, the Aeneid, be burned. If his
wishes had been obeyed, western literature - maybe even western
civilization - might have taken a different course. The Aeneid has
remained a foundational text since the rise of universities, and
has been invoked at key points of human history - whether by Saint
Augustine to illustrate the fallen nature of the soul, by settlers
to justify manifest destiny in North America, or by Mussolini in
support of his Fascist regime. In this fresh and fast-paced
translation of the Aeneid, Shadi Bartsch brings the poem to the
modern reader. Along with the translation, her introduction will
guide the reader to a deeper understanding of the epic's enduring
influence.

A powerful and poignant translation of Vergil's epic poem, newly
equipped with introduction and notes "Ruden set the bar for Aeneid
translations in 2008, and has raised it now with this revision. 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. Praise for
the First Edition: "Fast, clean, and clear, sometimes terribly
clever, and often strikingly beautiful. . . . Many human
achievements deserve our praise, and this excellent translation is
certainly one of them."-Richard Garner, The New Criterion "Toning
down the magniloquence, Sarah Ruden gives us an Aeneid more
intimate in tone and soberer in measure than we are used to-a gift
for which many will be grateful."-J. M. Coetzee "An intimate
rendering of great emotional force and purity. . . . The immediacy,
beauty, and timelessness of the original Latin masterpiece lift off
these pages with gem-like originality."-Choice
