Tibullus is considered one of the finest exponents of Latin lyric
in the golden age of Rome, during the Emperor Augustus' reign, and
his poetry retains its enduring beauty and appeal. Together these
works provide an important document for anyone who seeks to
understand Roman culture and sexuality and the origins of Western
poetry. The new translation by Rodney Dennis and Michael Putnam
conveys to students the elegance and wit of the original poems.
This title is ideal for courses on classical literature, classical
civilization, Roman history, comparative literature, and the
classical tradition and reception. The Latin verses will be printed
side-by-side with the English text. Explanatory notes and a
glossary elucidate context and describe key names, places, and
events. An introduction by Julia Haig Gaisser provides the
necessary historical and social background to the poet's life and
works. This title includes the poems of Sulpicia and Lygdamus,
transmitted with the text of Tibullus and formerly ascribed to him.
