Description
This edition of Ovid's "Amores" I has been kept in print by Bristol Classical Press because it remains an outstandingly useful volume. First published in 1973, it was one of two editions that pioneered a new kind of continuous running commentary, particularly suited to short poems.
This approach, intended for sixth-formers and undergraduates, aims to promote not just an understanding of Latin but also a critical appreciation of literary quality. The edition has been a continued success in achieving this aim.
