This is a signed first edition in average condition. It was published by The Hogarth Press in 1952. Cecil Day-Lewis was Poet Laureate from 1968 until his death in 1972.

Professor Day Lewis's new translation stands out as wholly admirable. In this, their own version, readers of the present day will find the beauty, the nobility, and the humanity which make the Aeneid one of the great poems of the world.

Slight wave to the page block and soft tanning to the pages.
