He is said to have considered it far from finished at the time of his death. Previously he had perfected and published a different kind of poem, The Georgics, which is loosely comparable to such English poems as James Thomson's The Seasons and William Cowper's The Task. ; illustrations throughout by Bruno Bramanti(1897 - 1957) ; FINE/FINE.

In fine condition. Translated into English verse by prominent English translator, playwright, and poet John Dryden. Illustrated by Bruno Bramanti. Virgilâs Georgics is a didactic epic that weaves together agricultural instruction with philosophical reflection and political commentary, illustrating the Roman ideal of labor as both a moral and civic virtue. Composed in the aftermath of civil war and dedicated to Augustus, the four books explore farming, viticulture, animal husbandry, and beekeeping, presenting rural life as a source of stability and renewal for a fractured society. While ostensibly practical, the poem transcends its instructional form through its poetic richness and engagement with themes of human struggle, the unpredictability of nature, and the tension between order and chaos. Drawing on Hesiodic and Alexandrian models, Virgil transforms the agricultural treatise into a profound meditation on Roman identity, making the Georgics a cornerstone of Augustan literature and a testament to the cultural and ethical dimensions of the land.…
