I, Virgil - first UK edition

by David Wishart

Author's first book. The story of Virgil ... or is it? Publius Vergilius, known as Virgil, was born in a ditch near Mantua. Not always a heroic figure, Virgil was a scholar, visionary and author of the epic, "The Aeneid". This bawdy tragi-comedy is the tale of a brilliant man struggling to follow his muse in a turbulent period of history. 

Book read once, carefully; as new dust jacket.
