About the book

Virgil's Eclogues are a collection of ten pastoral poems set among shepherds, fields and idealised rural landscapes. The poems combine conversations about love, politics, poetry and loss with a vision of countryside life that is both realistic and symbolic. Their elegant language and pastoral imagery had an enormous influence on later European poetry.
