“This is the first translation since Dryden’s that can be read as a
great English poem in itself.”—Garry Wills, New York Review of
Books
“The best translation of The Aeneid, certainly the best of our
time.”—Ursula K. Le Guin
Praise for the First Edition:
“Fast, clean, and clear, sometimes terribly clever, and often
strikingly beautiful. . . . Many human achievements deserve our
praise, and this excellent translation is certainly one of
them.”—Richard Garner, New Criterion
“Toning down the magniloquence, Sarah Ruden gives us an Aeneid more
intimate in tone and soberer in measure than we are used to—a gift
for which many will be grateful.”—J. M. Coetzee
“An intimate rendering of great emotional force and purity. . . .
The immediacy, beauty, and timelessness of the original Latin
masterpiece lift off these pages with gem-like
originality.”—Choice
