VIRGIL THE AENEID

This new Aeneid -the first collaborative translation of the poem in English-is rendered in an
unrhymed iambic pentameter that engages modern readers while preserving the epic dignity and
pathos of the original. Scott McGill and Susannah Wright's version faithfully conveys the
poem's delicate balance between its triumphant celebration of the Roman Empire and its
sensitivity to the human costs of antiquity's most powerful and influential society. The result
is a poem in English every bit as complex  inviting and affecting as the Latin original. With a
rich introduction from Emily Wilson  and the full complement of maps and supporting material
that have made Wilson's Homer translations the standard for our time  this gorgeous edition of
Rome's founding epic will capture the imaginations and stir the souls of a new generation of
readers.
