Inhaltsangabe
A Companion to the Study of Virgil is not yet another introduction to Virgil's poetry, nor is it the thinking man's version of the bibliographies in ANRW. The editor and three outside contributors offer a guide both to the key problems and to the most intelligent discussions. They do not offer 'solutions' to all the difficulties, but are not frightened to admit that this we do not know, that that is a mess, and that there more work is to be done.
The book is aimed at graduate students and university teachers. Many of the issues are difficult and artificial simplifications seem to offer no advantages. Apart from ample discussion of the poems and the main issues they raise, the book offers chapters on the life of Virgil (Horsfall), his style (Horsfall), his influence on later Latin epic (W.R. Barnes), on Latin life and culture (Horsfall), and on his MS tradition (Geymonat).

Brill, Leiden (.), 1995. XIV,326p. Original grey gilt stamped cloth with dust wrps. 'This is a most beneficial book. Horsefall writes the lion's share of it, but he has assembled an impressive cast of scholars to assist him. (.) Besides the book's balanced attitude towards interpretation of the poems, I would select the following as its most salient virtues. (i) The contributor's ability to weigh, judge and provide facts, such a welcome commodity in these abstract days (.) (ii). The colossal mastery of secondary material that H. in particular displays (.) (iii) Profitable, justified succinctness (.), (iv) Good questions are asked, of very different sorts (.). H & co. are models of humane writing. What a favour critics do themselves when they write like this! The reader can understand, and is in a position and mood to be persuaded. (.) This is a book for teachers to recommend to their students. More senior scholars too must have this book on their shelves. They will appreciate the clear and balanced surveys - and the huge quantitiy of useful information. There is, I should add, a very full index, another sine qua non of a secondary work in the modern world.' (R.O.A.M. LYNE in The Classical Review, New Series, Vol. 49, No. 2 (1999), pp. 383-384).
