{"product_id":"bucolic-ecology-timothy-saunders-9780715636176","title":"Bucolic Ecology: Virgil's Eclogues and the Environmental Literary Tradition","description":"Beginning in outer space and ending up among the atoms, \"Bucolic Ecology\" illustrates how these poems repeatedly turn to the natural world in order to define themselves and their place in the literary tradition. It argues that the 'Eclogues' find there both a sequence of analogies for their own poetic processes and a map upon which can be located other landmarks in Greco-Roman literature. Unlike previous studies of this kind, \"Bucolic Ecology\" does not attribute to Virgil a predominantly Romantic conception of nature and its relationship to poetry, but by adopting such differing approaches to the physical world as astronomy, geography, topography, landscape and ecology, it offers an account of the Eclogues that emphasises their range and complexity and reaffirms their innovation and audacity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Saunders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0715636170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715636176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 255","brand":"Timothy Saunders","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48174837924095,"sku":"9780715636176","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c07f514-cfdd-45cd-94c3-9606ae0f8336.jpg?v=1771330856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bucolic-ecology-timothy-saunders-9780715636176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
