The text and notes can guide any student who has mastered intermediate Latin and wishes to read Virgil’s work in the original, but Maclennan particularly has in mind supporting students who are
reading Aeneid VIII in preparation for the British awarding body OCR’s AS Latin examination. He includes a detailed introduction to the historical and literary context of the Aeneid and
explains in detail the metre and its use. His notes help bridge the gap from lower levels of Latin, point out linguistic difficulty, and help with interpretation. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold,
