Summary

Poet and Artist is a book/CD combination that features the Ogilby plates (from the John Dryden Aeneid translation) and the AP* lines of Vergil's epic, complete with questions about Vergil's masterpiece. By juxtaposing images with the text of Vergil and thought-provoking questions, the book encourages students to examine the Latin passages more closely and to reflect more critically upon the text and the artist's canvas. Features: Complete text of all lines on the Vergil AP* syllabus All of Ogilby's plates on CD rom Questions in English that require the students to compare and contrast Vergil's Latin text with the illustrations on the CD Alexander G. McKay (Professor Emeritus, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada) calls Poet and Artist "a welcome didactic offering, one that will provide considerable scope for imaginative, meticulous, and judicious responses to the original Latin" of Vergil's Aeneid.
