In addition to a bibliography, she provides a lengthy introduction and conclusion that tackle the question of the book's title, Why Vergil? Further, she juxtaposes the first few lines of the in its original Latin with five translations, and includes a synopsis of it and a list of dates for quick reference. She has not indexed the volume.
