Description: This full-length book on Virgil&#x92;s style aims to clarify an important aspect of poetry; namely, the relationship between word order and expressiveness. Through offering a detailed analysis of selected passages of the Aeneid and other hexametric poetry that clearly shows a stylistically motivated use of the various figures, the author provides an effective tool for evaluating and fully appreciating the expressiveness of the word order.
