VERGIL'S EMPIRE: Political Though in the Aeneid.

First edition, first printing. Softcover. Original pictorial card covers. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the corners and spine tips lightly rubbed and creased. The bottom corner of the closed text-block has a few light marks, the contents are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions.

Eve Adler offers a new interpretation of Vergil's epic poem 'Aenid', arguing that Vergil presents the theoretical foundations of a new political order that resolves the conflict between scientific enlightenment and ancestral religion.
