John Coningtonâs three-volume edition of The Works of Virgil, begun in 1852, has long been unavailable except in rare second-hand sets. The whole work is now being reissued in six affordable paperbacks, with new introductions setting the commentary in its context. Well into the twentieth century Coningtonâs Virgil remained the sine qua non for school and undergraduate students and their teachers; Coningtonâs commentary is remarkably close and uncompromising in its engagement with the detail of Virgilâs Latin, as well as its literary sensitivity; it still has much to offer the modern reader.
This volume includes Virgilâs text of the Aeneid Books VIIâIX and Coningtonâs commentary on Books VIIâIX; Coningtonâs introduction to Books VIIâXII. It also includes Philip Hardieâs general assessment of Conington and Anne Rogersonâs introduction to Coningtonâs Aeneid.
