Life of Virgil

http://virgil.org/vitae/

"A commentary on Virgil's poetry follows the Life proper, but breaks off after the Eclogues. Most of the biographical material is generally thought to derive from a lost vita by Suetonius. Donatus in turn became the main source for later biographers, some of whom returned the favor by filling out the text of his Life with interpolations of various kinds."

Vergil: The Secret Life

http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/Classics/Vergil-TheSecretLife.html

"The material in the Vitae Vergilianae has been studied by serious scholars since the Renaissance, but each generation of critics has selected for discussion the things which were consonant with the interests of that age. Approaching old material with a new spirit, in an approach which uses the information and techniques which we have at hand in this wide-scoped age of ours, I believe we can get new insightinto Vergil as a person and into some of the subtler nuances of his work."

The Classic Text: Traditions and Interpretations: Virgil

http://www.uwm.edu/Library/special/exhibits/clastext/clspg041.htm

Part of "The Classic Text: Traditions and Interpretations", an online exhibit which "examines some of the high spots of the western literary canon. It explores the foundations of their iconographic standing, demonstrating how they arrive at this status through a variety of means, and not always on the basis of their literary worth. The exhibition gives special focus to how printers, publishers, editors, illustrators, and translators have used the icon of the classic text as a venue for their own agendas."
