Catullus Carmina

Of all the classical poets Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84-54 BC) is the most accessible to the modern reader. Presented alongside the original Latin text, this new translation reflects Catullus' mastery of poetic forms as diverse as the lyric, the inventive epigram, and the romantic legend, and shows his passionate, and sometimes dedicated to his lover Lesbia. This edition also includes an introduction to the poet's life and work, and full explanatory notes.

Catullus' poetry is by turns ribald, lyric, romantic, satirical; it offers us vivid pictures of the poet's friends, enemies, and lovers. This work is a bilingual translation of Catullus' poems. It provides an essay on the poet's life and literary background, and a historical sketch of the politically fraught late Roman Republic in which he lived.

Sensual, salacious and above all scandalous, the erotic verse of the Roman poet Catullus has delighted - and shocked - readers for centuries. This new translation of the complete shorter poems highlights both the intense lyricism and the scabrous wit of the original.

80 poems written by Catullus are accompanied by an introduction examining his life and influences, and a detailed commentary which attempts to interpret the poems in the light of modern linguistic and literary scholarship.
