First published in 2004. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Though his audacious erotic and satrical verses survived the Middle Ages in only a single copy, Catullus has become in this century a standard author in the college Latin curriculum, ranking with Virgil, Horace, and Ovid.This new, annotated Latin edition now makes these famous poems more accessible than ever to students of Catullus' own language. The Student's Catullus places its emphasis on understanding the original Latin text rather than merely translating it into English. A complete Latin-English vocabulary explains the meaning of Catullus' words; notes to each poem illuminate the meaning of his language, with explanations of word choice, word order, sound effects, and metric artistry. Historical and literary allusions are also explained, with the result that students enter deeper into the poet's world than the best English translation can suggest. The Student's Catullus makes it clear why we still read Catullus in Latin.

Embers of the Ancient Flame is a user-friendly introduction to the Latin love poetry of Catullus, Horace, and Ovid. Each poet has his distinctive voice: Catullus reels wildly between tender passion and jealous obsession, between adoring -- even slavish -- love and venomous hate. Horace seems less immediate, more voyeuristic, distancing himself by adopting a philosophically minded persona, or by coolly observing the passions of others. And Ovid, coy and striking -- though precious -- dazzles with references learned and mythological, calling his earnestness into doubt. In short, this selection runs the gamut of views on love. Catullus, Horace, and Ovid lived during two of Rome's most dynamic eras, the late Republic and the early Empire. Their poetry provides a glimpse into the most personal parts of Roman life during historically and literarily singular times.

Includes an introduction to this Roman poet, selections from his poetry, vocabulary and grammatical notes, and glossaries on meters and figures of speech.

Since their rediscovery around 1305 the poems of Catullus have proved endlessly fascinating to generations of readers. The small collection that has come down to us covers an extraordinary range of voices from extreme sexual crudity, through the passion and bitterness of an often frustrated lover to astonishing lyricism and beauty. Catullus has become as famous for his obscene invective as for his love affair with the woman he called Lesbia. Nick Langford’s translation seeks to hold as close to the original as possible, providing the Latin and the translation side-by-side for easy comparison. It is a translation for the modern age, endeavouring to find English equivalents for otherwise untranslatable words and concepts. A few essential notes are provided, and a more detailed index of proper names. (view table of contents)
