Description
Book SynopsisAlthough Catullus is one of the best known Roman poets, it is his shorter poems that are more familiar. This is the first edition of the long poems of Catullus in a single volume which, with John Godwin’s companion edition of the shorter poems, completes all Catullus' surviving work. Latin text with facing translation, introduction and commentary.
Trade Review‘This is an extremely useful edition of Catullus which would be helpful to teachers and sixth form students. [...] The commentary on the text is very helpful both to student and teacher and includes a summary of the main points contained within each poem as well as more detailed comments on style.’
JACT‘Godwin’s Catullus is an admirable example of the series at its best: the commentary is clear, helpful and undogmatic [...] the introduction helpfully sets Catullus’ poetry in its historical and literary context.’
