Description

Catullus: A Selection of Poems by John Godwin

This collection brings together a selection of poems from the Roman poet Catullus, considered some of the most accessible and vivid literature ever composed. The edition provides full Latin text, commentary, and vocabulary, as well as a detailed introduction that covers the prescribed poems for A Level study.

Through his poetry, Catullus recreates what it was to be a young poet in ancient Rome, revealing a writer who is both raw and elegant, often in the same poem. This selection offers a unique insight into the world of the Roman republic through the eyes of one of its most celebrated poets.
