In this book, a sequel to Traditions and Contexts in the Poetry of
Horace (Cambridge, 2002), ten leading Latin scholars provide
specially commissioned in-depth discussions of the poetry of
Catullus, one of ancient Rome's most favourite and best loved
poets. Some chapters focus on the collection as a whole and the
interrelationship of various poems; others deal with
intertextuality and translation, and Catullus' response to his
Greek predecessors, both classical and Hellenistic. Two of the key
subjects are the communication of desire and the presentation of
the real world. Some chapters provide analyses of individual poems,
while others discuss how Catullus' poetry was read by Virgil and
Ovid. A wide variety of critical approaches is on offer, and in the
Epilogue the editors provide a provocative survey of the issues
raised by the volume.
