The Poems of Catullus

Synopsis

Of all the classical poets gaius valerius catullus (c. 84-54 bc) is the most accessible to the modern reader. Presented alongside the original latin text, this new translation reflects catullus' mastery of poetic forms as diverse as the lyric, the inventive epigram, and the romantic legend, and shows his passionate, and sometimes dedicated to his lover lesbia. This edition also includes a introduction to the poet's life and work, and full explanatory notes.
