Book Synopsis
Tibullus was one of the great Roman elegists, alongside Ovid and Propertius. His poems of love, addressed to his mistresses Delia and Nemesis and the boy Marathus portray idealism, anguish, and betrayal, newly translated into stylish English by A. M. Juster, with parallel Latin text, introduction, and notes by Tibullus scholar Robert Maltby.

Trade Review
Juster's translation reproduces Tibullus's verses in simple yet polished language, and it contains many creative and appealing turns of phrase. * The Classical Journal, Robert J. Ball *
A.M Juster's verse translation is clear and helpful ... an excellent introduction and notes * Translation and Literature *
It is difficult to believe that they could possibly be better rendered into contemporary English. * Gilbert Wesley Purdy, Eclectica *
