Review Quotes:
"This revised volume is now an even more valuable resource for anyone wanting to teach Latin lyric and elegiac poetry in translation. The translations are accurate and reliable, and with the expanded coverage of poems, instructors have more choice about which authors and poems to read. The notes are detailed and rich in useful information about the ancient context and original language and have been updated to take account of shifts in the scholarship. The addition of a list of secondary readings for each poet will aid students writing papers. The quality and combination of features make this an outstanding choice."
