{"product_id":"georgics-virgil-9780198149781","title":"Georgics","description":"Virgil's \u003cem\u003eGeorgics\u003c\/em\u003e, considered to be one of the great poems of Western literature, is ostensibly a didactic poem on agriculture. Challenging this idea, the late Sir Roger Mynors argues that the poem's true subject is humanity and its place in nature and society. The poem is also a landmark in the use of the natural world as material for literature and of special interest because the poet draws not only on his own experience but also on his wide reading of Greek poetry. This commentary examines Virgil's meaning and choice of expression to provide a fuller understanding of the poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virgil,Mynors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198149786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198149781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.46w x 1.03d","brand":"Virgil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096660549887,"sku":"9780198149781","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/georgics-virgil-9780198149781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
