HOLZBERG, N., Vergil. Der Dichter und sein Werk. Beck, München, 2006. 228p. Cloth wrps. Signature on free endpaper. Nice copy.'Holzberg's general overview of Virgil's poetry produces an informed and readable text that places at the disposal of students and the general reader alike, a first-rate introduction to the life and work of the greatest Latin poet. (...) The book comprises an extensive introductory chapter (...) and individual chapters on the 'Eclogues', the 'Georgics' and the 'Aeneid'. There are a nine-page select bibliography of notable contemporary and modern critical writings in English and German, two indexes (...) and a glossary of special terminology. (...) H. does not try to moderate his admiration for Virgil's gifted artistry, and the enthusiasm of his argumentation is contagious: most readers will feel that a study of Virgil and about Virgil has been or would be time well spent.'
