This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin
AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Catullus' poems 5, 6, 7,
8, 10, 11, 17, 40, 70, 76, 85, 88, 89, 91 and 107, and the A-Level
(Group 4) prescription of poems 1, 34, 62 and 64 lines 124-264,
giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed
introduction that also covers the prescribed poems to be read in
English for A Level. The poetry of Catullus is some of the most
accessible and vivid literature ever composed. Yeats described his
poems as ones which 'young men, tossing on their beds/ rhymed out
in love's despair/ to flatter beauty's ignorant ear' and this
selection reveals a writer baring his feelings on the page in lines
of unforgettable force. He is rude and crude when he wants to be,
but also elegant and wistful, sometimes in the same poem. Above
all, he recreates what it was to be a young poet in the heady world
of the Roman republic. Resources are available on the Companion
Website.
