Virgil's Georgics (The Yale New Classics Series)

Virgil's Georgics (The Yale New Classics Series)

This masterful new verse translation of Virgilâ€™s Georgics speaks as powerfully to our times as it did to the ancient poetâ€™s. Janet Lembke presents this unsurpassed nature poem in an American idiom that is both elegant and sensitive to the meaning and rhythm of Virgilâ€™s original paean to the earth.
"This work is clearly by a master translator. Lembke moves easily from the Latin hexameter into English verse of loose, five-beat rhythm that well captures that of the original."Â—Michael Putnam, Brown University
"A major new translation."Â—Rosanna Warren
