Review Quotes:
'This edition is most welcome. No lover of Douglas or of Virgil has any excuse for not buying it.' -- Alastair Fowler, Times Literary Supplement 27 April 2012, 5
'Kendal's edition accomplishes what the series sets out to do: here is a version of Douglas' translation that will allow a non-specialist audience to read it more fluently and enjoy it. A broader audience and a teaching function might also be promoted by the text's digital availability. As Douglas wished his translation to 'be repute a needful work' for Virgil, so this edition should become for those who would present Douglas' translation effectively to a broader modern audience.' -- Sheldon Brammall, Translation and Literature 21, 2012, 241
