Zusammenfassung
Virgil's Georgics is considered one of the greatest poems in western literature. It purports to be a didactic poem on agriculture, but its true subject is man and his place in literature and society. Sir Roger Mynors's definitive text is presented here, and his accessible commentary is the fullest understanding of the work available for students and scholars.

Virgil's Georgics, by common consent one of the great poems of Western literature, purports to be a didactic poem on agriculture, but its true subject is man and his place in nature and society. It is also a landmark in the use of the natural world as material for literature, and in the history of man's attitude to his environment. The poem is of special interest because Virgil brings to bear his own sympathetic understanding as well as his wide reading in Greek and Latin literature. This definitive commentary by the late Sir Roger Mynors presents the poet's meaning in such away as to bring about a fuller understanding and enjoyment of the poetry, and should be an invaluable companion for all serious students of Latin literature.

in this great and glowing commentary he has given us a sunlit view of one of the richest poems ever written
