Editorial Reviews
Review
"A highly useful volume, to be welcomed by students and teachers of the Aeneid on all levels."--Classical Outlook
"This learned commentary belongs in all research libraries, and in the hands of any Vergilian who can afford it, for it is sure to be of lasting value. The volume may be used to find the best recent discussion of any stylistic feature that occurs in Aeneid 10. Style and Latinity are Harrison's strengths and he provides ample evidence to help the reader with the tone, diction, and debt to earlier authors of any passage in the book."--The Classical Association of the Atlantic States INC.
"[A] model of English classical philology-competent, precise, full, and learned..."--The Classical Journal
