About This Item
Berkeley, CA University of California Press, 1989. Hardcover First Edition (1989); First Printing indicated by a complete number line. First Edition (1989); First Printing indicated by a complete number line. Very Near Fine in Very Near Fine DJ: The Book shows just a hint of spine lean, but thebinding remains perfectly secure; else flawless; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing no flaws. Bright and Clean. Corners sharp. Very close to "As New". The DJ shows faint sunning to the tan-toned background field of the backstrip (the white and dark brown titles thereon remain unaffected: bold and clearly legible); else flawless; unclipped. Overall, very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.5 x 5.8 x 0.8 inches). 210 pages. Language: English. Weight: 16.5 ounces. Hardback with DJ. The controversy over Virgil's optimism or pessimism, which has long absorbed readers of his poetry, might fruitfully yield to a perspective which allows contradictions to stand unresolved, to constitute, in fact, the essence of his poems' meaning. So interpreted, the pervasive contradictions of the Georgics are not problems to be solved, but expressions of the poet's vision of fundamental tensions in human experience.
