  Providing a guide to the vast bibliography and scholarly apparatus that has grown around Virgil studies, this work offers a critical study of what Virgil's purpose and intent may have been in crafting his response to Augustus' political ascendancy in Rome, Rome's history of near-constant civil strife, and the myths of Rome's origins.
