Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE: NO book of classical antiquity makes quite such a strong appeal to Englishmen as the Georgics. For the average educated Englishman has in him something of the sportsman, something of the naturalist, and often at the back of his mind an inkling of the poet; long ago he had also in him a good deal of the farmer, and it looks as though this might be so again in the next generation. The Georgics, if he has the luck to come across them, are pretty sure to attract him in one way or another. I well remember, in the days of my college tutorship, having to push a sporting youth through the thorny hedge of Responsions - one who was totally incapable of understanding the rhetoric of Livy, with whom we first tried him; then in despair I put him on the Georgics, and adroitly began with the third. When he came to Virgil's description of the horse's points, his face and his mind at once brightened; to use his own language, he 'found,' and thereafter took all his fences without a fall. I think it was not only that he found things in the poem about which he knew a good deal - more, in fact, than I did - but that he unconsciously felt the life of the animals just as Virgil felt them. The mere fact that they have eyes and ears and feet and tails, and do certain things with them, showing the active mind within, is to the sportsman-naturalist a continual delight, and so I think it was to Virgil. Every animal in the Georgics is full of life, constantly in action for some definite end. Open them anywhere, and you find at once this intensity of life, sometimes expressed in a single wonderful word. The reason of this is that the poet had in an unusual degree the true Italian feeling that there is something mysterious or divine in all life, even in that of plants - a feeling at the root of the religion of the early Italians, though less recognizable among those of to-day. It is because Mr. Royds in this little book seems to me to give us substantial help in understanding this life as Virgil and the old Italians felt it, that I heartily welcome it, hoping that it may make its way among all English-speaking peoples, and lead them to a better knowledge of our beloved poet. It is, I think, the best commentary we have for the naturalist, the farmer, or the sportsman. I have learnt from it much that I did not know before, and feel that I may confidently recommend it to all scholars. W. WARDE FOWLER

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pathbreaking book, which includes a powerful new translation of Hesiod's Works and Days by esteemed translator David Grene, Stephanie Nelson argues that a society's vision of farming contains deep indications about its view of the human place within nature, and our relationship to the divine. She contends that both Hesiod in the Works and Days and Vergil in the Georgics saw farming in this way, and so wrote their poems not only about farming itself, but also about its deeper ethical and religious implications. Hesiod, Nelson argues, saw farming as revealing that man must live by the sweat of his brow, and that good, for human beings, must always be accompanied by hardship. Within this vision justice, competition, cooperation, and the need for labor take their place alongside the uncertainties of the seasons and even of particular lucky and unlucky days to form a meaningful whole within which human life is an integral part. Vergil, Nelson argues, deliberately modeled his poem upon the Works and Days, and did so in order to reveal that his is a very different vision. Hesiod saw the hardship in farming; Vergil sees its violence as well. Farming is for him both our life within nature, and also our battle against her. Against the background of Hesiods poem, which found a single meaning for human life, Vergil thus creates a split vision and suggests that human beings may be radically alienated from both nature and the divine. Nelson argues that both the Georgics and the Works and Days have been misread because scholars have not seen the importance of the connection between the two poems, and because they have not seen that farming is the true concern of both, farming in its deepest and most profoundly unsettling sense.
