Description

Book Synopsis
Ovid’s books of personal love elegies are arguably his most attractive work. This edition of Amores II offers a Latin text with parallel prose translation, and critical essays written especially for the reader with little or no Latin. For more advanced scholars, there is a line by line commentary on the Latin text and an apparatus criticus.

Trade Review
‘A distinguished addition to the excellent classical series... Booth is a sure and amused guide to the genre... Every reader will derive knowledge and pleasure from this book.’
