<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>This<br> edition was originally aimed at sixth-form level students and undergraduates, but the extensive Vocabulary and Notes make it suitable for GCSE level too. The Introduction gives an outline<br> of the background knowledge needed by a beginner in Virgilian studies and Book XII gives an<br> excellent taster of the epic as a whole.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This<br> edition, originally published in 1953 in the admirable Methuen Classical<br> Texts series, has been maintained in print by Bradda Books. This longevity is<br> deserved; for it remains a very fine edition, manageable at different levels<br> of attainment. Maguinness had chiefly in mind students at sixth-form or early<br> university level but, for the benefit of less practised students taking GCSE<br> or in their second year of Latin bugun at University, he wisely included a<br> Vocabulary (marked with syllable lengths to tie in with his very useful<br> section on scansion and reading aloud) and a considerable amount of fairly<br> elementary linguistic matter in the Notes. The Introduction gives an outline<br> of the background knowledge needed by a beginner in Virgilian studies. For a<br> succinct and always level-headed approach to the Aeneid, this remains a splendid edition - one for which more advanced<br> Virgilians still have every reason to be thankful; and Book XII gives an<br> excellent flavour of the whole epic and the meaning of its constantly<br> enigmatic closure.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>W.S Maguinness was Professor of Latin at King's College, University of London.</p>
