Description and Table of Contents
Description
A title in the "BCP Classics Companion Series", this book offers translation, with detailed commentary, on poems by Catullus, Propertius, Tibullus and Ovid. The selection of poems has been chosen to represent each author's qualities and to encourage comparison and contrast between them. Guy Lee's translations seek to reveal the poets' distinctive approaches: the stark intensity of Catullus; the ostentatious learning of Propertius; the deceptive simplicity of Tibullus; and the witty, provocative and worldly poetry of Ovid. Joan Booth provides a running commentary which sets out to explain, suggest and question.
