Publisher's Synopsis

This text argues that Virgil composed his ten eclogues as parts of a system - the 'Book of Bucolics' conceived as a concerted whole. The report of theatre presentations showed that Virgil caught attention with dramatic flair, masking an ideological programme that grew to encompass motifs of a returning Golden Age and new myth.
