Latin poets and prose writers of the classical period and later
used - and withheld - names subtly and to important effect. Here,
in eleven new essays, an eminent international cast explore themes
which include 'speaking' names, often involving bilingual
Latin/Greek play; the ways in which persons and objects are named
in contexts of invective or endearment; the significant suppression
or changing of names; the religious and historical significances of
names; the uses of names in literary catalogues; names as devices
to structure a group of shorter poems.
This title includes eight new essays, from a distinguished
international cast, that examine the techniques of Cicero's verbal
aggression. Analysis includes political and forensic context but
also Cicero's own formal theory of rhetoric and his debts to other
genres, literary and dramatic. 220 (Classical Press of Wales 2007).

Ovid's three books of personal love elegies are arguably his most
attractive work. In this acclaimed edition of Amores Book II, Joan
Booth offers a Latin text with parallel prose translation and on
each poem, or pair of poems, a critical essay written especially
for the reader with little or no Latin. For the more advanced
scholars she also provides a traditional line by line commentary on
the Latin text and a generously select apparatus criticus.
This text offers an introduction, Latin text, translation and
literary commentary on seventeen poems by Catullus, Propertius,
Tibullus and Ovid. It is intended for students who are approaching
the genre of Latin love elegy for the first time - both those who
have a knowledge of Latin and those who may wish to study the genre
in translation. The poems have been selected to represent each
author's particular qualities; while the commentary aims to bring
out their literary qualities and invites comparison and contrast
between them. Revised from a previous edition - "Reading Latin Love
Elegy" - which contained no text, this book includes translations
of Catullus, Propertious and Ovid by Guy Lee; and versions of
Tibullus by Joan Booth, who also provides the introduction and
commentary.
