- Double-weighted statement
- This 125,000-word monograph offers detailed exposition of the central text in Latin poetry. The project, founded on decades of reading the book with students, was begun in 2011, and published in 2017. All the material, including the revised and repunctuated Latin text, is new. As well as consultation of the enormous bibliography, going back beyond modern commentators to Servius, the commentary required repeated consultation of the databases for Classical Latin and laborious checking of references. A broad range of poetic intertexts matter for Vergil’s epic, and there was a need to consult sources for e.g. Roman religion, sailing and volcanology.
