The Country of Horace and Virgil is a non-fiction book written by Gaston Boissier. The book is an exploration of the ancient Roman countryside and its influence on two of the most prominent poets of the era, Horace and Virgil. Boissier takes the reader on a journey through the landscapes that inspired the poets, from the hills of Umbria to the shores of Campania. Along the way, he provides historical context and cultural insights into the lives of Horace and Virgil, as well as the broader society in which they lived. The book is rich with descriptions of the natural beauty of the countryside, as well as the architecture and art that flourished in the region during the Roman era. Boissier's writing is both informative and engaging, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
