With this three-volume companion, students can access the full literary and historical significance of the Aeneid in English through an accessible yet authoritative line-by-line commentary. Written by an experienced teacher and expert on the Aeneid, this guide unpicks Virgil's literary techniques, structural forms and historical resonances.

The line-by-line commentary in this Volume 3 focuses on two central translations of the Aeneid Books 7-12 (in verse by Robert Fagles and in prose by David West). Tanfield helps you understand the choices that translators make as they decide how to craft their own particular readings of the Aeneid. Plus, this companion includes extensive explanatory notes, context and a wide range of scholarly critique to ensure you have everything you need in one place.

For a broad contextual introduction to the poem and its author, Volume 1 is available separately.

Christopher Tanfield taught Classics for many years and is an independent scholar based in the UK. He has written student editions of books of Virgil's Aeneid and Cicero's Philippics.
