Originally published in 1974, these studies of Latin poetry were commissioned with two main purposes in mind: to encourage a fresh reading of several Latin poets from the time of Catullus to Horace, and to illustrate various, critical approaches to literature.

To counteract feelings of disorientation the editors tried to provide samples of the best critical work in progress at the time of publication.
