Oxford Readings in Catullus is a collection of articles that
represent a sampling of the most interesting and important work on
Catullus from around 1950 to 2000, together with three very short
pieces from the Renaissance. The readings, selected for their
intrinsic interest and importance, are intended to be
thought-provoking (and in some cases provocative) and to challenge
readers to look at Catullus in different ways. They demonstrate a
number of approaches - stylistic, historical, literary-historical,
New Critical, and theoretical (of several flavours). Such
hermeneutic diversity is particularly appropriate in the case of
Catullus, whose oeuvre is famously - some might say notoriously -
varied in length, genre, tone, and subject matter. The collection
as a whole demonstrates what has interested Catullus' readers in
the last half century and suggests some of the ways in which they
might approach his poetry in the future. It is accompanied by an
introduction by Julia Haig Gaisser on themes in Catullan criticism
from 1950 to 2000.
