Poems of Catullus.

Paperback. Zustand: Gut. VIII, 187 p.: Maps. Bleistiftanmerkung auf Schmutztitel, sonst ein sehr gutes Exemplar / pencil annotation on half title, otherwise a very good copy. - First published in 1969 in the Bell Alpha Classics Series, this serviceable edition presents a considerable selection of Catullus' oeuvre in a variety of metres and genres. It was originally intended to introduce the poet to students in the final years of school but can with equal success be used in the first year of an undergraduate course. The poems are arranged thematically: short poems first and then selected longer poems, including poem 64 in full. The basic introduction provides factual information which the student needs before embarking on the poems. The notes assist with language and content; there is a select vocabulary and a useful appendix on metres. / CONTENTS INTRODUCTION THE POEMS Part OneShorter Poems I Friends and Foes (?)
