Just published by H. F. Bauzá, one of the best connoisseurs of Augustan poetry, a book entitled Virgilio. Memorias del poeta. Una autobiografía espiritual (Editorial Biblos, Buenos Aires, 2011). This is no small feat to have been able to give a plausible voice to Virgil. This book will delight sophisticated scholars as well as neophytes. We wish it the great success it deserves.
