Latin Lyric and Elegiac Poetry, first published almost 25 years
ago, offered students accurate and poetic translations of poems
from the sudden flowering of lyric and elegy in Rome at the end of
the Republic and in the first decades of the Augustan principate.
Now updated in this second edition, the volume has been re-edited
with both revised and new translations and an updated commentary
and bibliography for readers in a new century, ensuring that this
much-valued anthology remains useful and relevant to a new
generation of students studying ancient literature and western
civilization. The volume features an expanded selection of newly
translated poetry including: fresh Catullus translations, with a
greater selection including Poem 64 fresh Sulpicia translations and
the five poems of the "Garland of Sulpicia" six new Propertius
poems new and revised selections from Tibullus, Ovid and Horace.
The second edition reflects changing interests and modes of reading
while remaining true to the power of the poetry that has influenced
the literature of many cultures. The combination of accurate and
vibrant translations with thorough commentary makes this an
invaluable anthology for those interested in poetry, world
literature, Roman civilization, and the history of ideas and
sexuality, allowing readers to compare different poets' responses
to politics, love and sex, literary innovation, self, and society.
