What reading level is Vergil, a Biography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If this be true, the first and last few lines were fitted on later, when the whole book was published, to adapt the poem for its honorable posi- tion at the close of the volume.
XI THE EVICTIONS The first and ninth Eclogues, and only these, con- cern the confiscations of land at Cremona and Man- tua which threatened to deprive Vergil's father of his estates and consequently the poet of his income.
There seems to be no way of deciding which is the earlier. Ancient commentators, following the ord...er of precedence, interpreted the ninth as an indication of a second eviction, but there seems to be no sound reason for agreeing with them, since they are entirely too literal in their inferences. Conington sanely de- cides that only one eviction took place, and he places the ninth before the first in order of time. He may be right. The two poems at any rate belong to the early months of 4 1 .
The obsequious scholiasts of the Empire have no- where so thoroughly exposed their own mode of thought as in their interpretations of these two Ec- logues.
