The Eclogues and The Georgics

James Bradley Wells combines creative practice and intimate knowledge of contemporary poetry and classical antiquity in this thoughtprovoking new translation of two early works by ancient Rome’s most wellknown and most esteemed poet, Vergil’s Eclogues and Georgics. With its emphasis on the musicality of English, Wells’s translations honor the original spirit of Latin poetry as both a written and performancebased art form.
