Synopsis :

First published by Macmillian in 1964, this book is designed to introduce students to a wider range of Latin poetry than they would encounter in a simple author prescription. The first century BC is represented by Lucretius and Catullus, the Augustan era by Virgil, Horace and Ovid, and the Silver age by Juvenal and Martial. Passages are chosen for their own intrinsic interest - Ovid on Romulus and Remus, Juvenal on the dangers of Rome at night, the sheild of Aeneas from Virgil's <I>Aeneid VIII</I> ; they cover a wide variety of genres and styles – both <I>Satires</I> and <I>Odes</I> of Horace, elegiacs from the <I>Fasti </I>and hexameters from the <I>Metamorphoses</I> of Ovid. There are extensive notes on language and content, an introduction on metre and a full vocabulary.

À propos de l'auteur: E.C. Kennedy was Classics Master at Malvern College, UK. With A.R. Davis, he co-edited Two Centuries of Roman Poetry, Two Centuries of Roman Prose, and Euripides: Scenes from Rhesus" and "Helen"."
