Latin Explorations, first published in 1963, offers a fresh
approach to Roman poetry from Catullus to Ovid. Traditionally, the
period is divided for specialist studies - Lyric, Epic and Elegy.
In each of them, techniques of interpretation prevail, isolated
from contemporary ideas about poetry and dominated by barriers
between 'textual', 'exegetical' and 'aesthetic' criticism. Kenneth
Quinn discerns in Roman poetry of this period the adolescence,
maturity and decay of a single coherent tradition whose internal
unity surpasses differences of form. His argument attempts to
reverse the dissociation of purely academic research from
appreciative criticism, whilst also incorporating the work of
textual scholars. Each chapter is supported by a detailed analysis
of the texts: nearly 700 lines of poetry are discussed and
translated. Latin Explorations will be of significant value not
only to students of the Classics, but also to the 'Latinless'
general reader who is interested in Roman literature.
