Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trees, Shrubs, and Plants of Virgil In the sixteenth century several botanists interested themselves in the plants of the ancient Romans. Among them were two able Italians, Pietro Andrea Mathioli (1500-1577), whose name has been given to the cruciferous genus of stock, and Andrea Cesalpini (1519-1603), from whom is named the leguminous genus of Caesalpinia. Over Dodoens or Dodonaeus they had the advantage of being natives and inhabitants of Italy. Their works were studied by John Martyn, Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge, who in 1741 published an edition of the Georgics with an English translation. His works deal with the substance rather than with the language of Virgil's poem. He had been for some years in correspondence with Linné, from whom he probably received help. Although Linné was occasionally in error, a list of the scientific names will show how skilfully he had studied the ancient Roman writings. Martyn made two or three bad blunders, but his book is a monument of clear observation and sound common sense. It was followed in 1749 by an edition of the Eclogues.

Book excerpt: Virgil's Georgics first became known to me through an English translation of the great Roman poet's celebration of agriculture and country life. Readings of other English versions, with the inevitable discrepancies in words and meanings, awakened a curiosity to know what Virgil had actually written. A subsequent study of the Latin text and several commentaries revealed, among other things, numerous references to vegetation in terms not clear to most readers. Although a number of commentaries on the plants have been written, too often the reader is furnished only with names, which, unless he has more than average botanical knowledge, are not linked in the mind's eye with the living organisms. The need became apparent to me for illustrations to bring these names to life. -- Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vergil's poetry abounds with plants, yet much criticism underestimates their significance beyond attractive background detail or the occasional symbolic set-piece. This volume joins the growing field of nature-centred studies of literature, exploring the complexity and variety of Vergilian flora and revealing how fundamental the poet's plants and trees are to an understanding of his outlook on religion, culture, and mankind's place within the world.

Download or read book Virgil's Garden written by Frederick Jones and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virgil's book of bucolic verse, the Eclogues, defines a green space separate from the outside worlds both of other Roman verse and of the real world of his audience. However, the boundaries between inside and outside are deliberately porous. The bucolic natives are aware of the presence of Rome, and Virgil himself is free to enter their world. Virgil's bucolic space is, in many ways, a poetic replication of the public and private gardens of his Roman audience - enclosed green spaces which afforded the citizen sheltered social and cultural activities, temporary respite from the turbulence of public life, and a tamed landscape in which to play out the tensions between the simple ideal and the complexities of reality. This book examines the Eclogues in terms of the relationship between its contents and its cultural context, making connections between the Eclogues and the representational modes of Roman art, Roman concepts of space and landscape, and Roman gardens.

Download or read book The Georgics: A Poem of the Land written by Virgil and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest poems of the classical world, Virgil's Georgics is a glorious celebration of the eternal beauty of the natural world, now brought vividly to life in a powerful new translation. 'Georgic' means 'to work the earth', and this poetic guide to country living combines practical wisdom on tending the land with exuberant fantasy and eulogies to the rhythms of nature. It describes hills strewn with wild berries in 'vine-spread autumn'; recommends watching the stars to determine the right time to plant seeds; and gives guidance on making wine and keeping bees. Yet the Georgics also tells of angry gods, bloody battles and a natural world fraught with danger from storms, pests and plagues. Expansive in its scope, lush in its language, this extraordinary work is at once a reflection on the cycles of life, death and rebirth, an argument for the nobility of labour and an impassioned reflection on the Roman Empire of Virgil's times. Kimberly Johnson's lyrical verse translation captures all the rich beauty and abundant imagery of the original, re-creating this ancient masterpiece for our times.
