Ses écrits reflètent un profond engagement avec les courants intellectuels de son époque, reliant les traditions savantes de l'Italie et de l'Angleterre. Le long séjour de Vergil en Angleterre lui offrit un point de vue unique pour observer et documenter les interactions entre ces deux cultures influentes.
