God and the Land: The Metaphysics of Farming in Hesiod and Vergil With a Translation of Hesiod's Works and Days by David Grene

Rating:
Summary: Great insight into a great work
Review: Nelson brings a new perspectinve to this subject, an insight that only someone versed in classics and the realities of farming could bring. This book is the best argument yet for scholars to get out of the classroom on occasion and into the feild, as it were.
