The Man Roosevelt: A Portrait Sketch

Vergil’s Aeneid has been the most continually read and discussed work by a Roman author in the history of Western literature. Yet it can be a challenging work to teach–Vergil is a complex, subtle poet; his culture and time are removed from us; and Latin is less studied in college than it was a generation ago. This volume of essays is addressed primarily to the nonclassically trained instructor who will be teaching Vergil’s epic in translation.
