Latin Explorations (Routledge Revivals)

Critical Studies in Roman Literature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Latin Explorations, first published in 1963, offers a fresh approach to Roman poetry from Catullus to Ovid. The argument attempts to reverse the dissociation of purely academic research from appreciative criticism, whilst also incorporating the work of textual scholars. Each chapter is supported by a detailed analysis of the texts: nearly 700 lines of poetry are discussed and translated.
