"Christine Perkell (Ph.D. Harvard) is Professor of Classics at Emory University. She is the editor of ""Reading Vergil's Aeneid: An Interpretive Guide"" and author of ""The Poet's Truth: A Study of the Poet in Vergil's Georgics"" as well as of articles on various aspects of Vergil's poetics and of lamentation in epic poetry."
In short, this is a commentary that I would be happy to use with students, despite some problems with its editing. It combines grammatical assistance with analysis of the text in ways which make reading easier and encourage interpretation. It also introduces current debates in Virgilian scholarship clearly and helpfully, and promotes and provides guidance for further reading. Perkell has provided valuable support for those wishing to teach Aeneid 3 at an intermediate level, and I look forward to the other volumes in this series.<p>Reviewed by Anne Rogerson, University of Sydney<p>Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2010.11.23<p><p>--------------------------------------------
