Virgil Revealed

The reason this book (or should I say pamphlet) was produced was to help students with a step-by-step guide to writing literary a-n-a-l-y-s-i-s. That's not the reason I bought this book. I have already read the Aeneid, but maybe I should have read the synopsis earlier to know what I was looking for when it came up. Your shoe's untied, your fly is open, and Virgil lived at the height of the first age of the Roman Empire. Let's face it, when you're concentrating on things, you don't notice what's right in front of your face. This book helps point out at least what the author thinks is important about Virgil. However, for those seeking more in-depth or intimate knowledge of the Aeneid and do not have time to take courses on a specific piece of literature, this pamphlet has many advantages, including but not limited to: ▪ Guide to Understanding and Writing Literary A-n-a-y-s-i-s ▪ Expert Advice on Mastering the A+ Essay ▪ Glossary of Important Literature Terms I could quote for several more pages the advantages of owning this Spark Notes a-n-a-l-y-s-i-s of the Aeneid by Virgil. To do so would be to write more than what is in the book. If you only get one fraction of what this book can do for you, it is worth the price of owning. I find myself periodically going back to refresh myself on what it is that I had not retained from the original reading.
