Patterns of redemption in Virgil's Georgics

Summary: The vindication of Octavian also has strictly literary implications for Virgil. The close of the poem sees Virgil asserting his mastery of the Homeric mode of poetry, the most sublime available, and the providential world-view it was thought to embody."--BOOK JACKET.
