About this Item
Description:
FIRST EDITION. Slim 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). pp.32. Publihser's original pale blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, with the unclipped dust-jacket. Ex libris John Safford with his armorial bookplate to front pastedown along with his ownership inscription to fly leaf. Spine lightly sunned, jacket with some minimal wear along extremities and light soiling, generally a very good copy. "In his 1944 Presidential Address to the Virgil Society, Eliot placed the Latin poet 'at the center of European civilization'" (Yeats Eliot Review). Eliot argued perhaps inspired by British classicist and scholar Jackson Knight that Virgil was a sort of proto-Christian, embodying what Eliot saw as Christian values (e.g. a sense of duty to family, community, and God).

"In the whole of European Literature there is no poet who can furtnish the texts for a more significant variety of discourse than Virgil. The fact that he symbolises so much in the history of Europe, and represents such central European values, is the justification for our founding a soceity to preserve his memory: the fact that he is so central and so comprehensive is my justification for this address."
