About this title: 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. Written ...

"Catullus writes about literature and sex in gorgeous, but conversational tones. His work is a stirring reminder of how we deal with love and infidelity, and the constancy of human emotion across the millennia. Writing during the first century B.C.E., Catullus explicated his affair with and betrayal by a woman, pseudonym Lesbia, in volumes of Neoteric poetry. His poems were lost entirely for a time until a single manuscript edition turned up, thankfully preserving the work of this exceptional poet. Never, I think, in all the annals of literature has love in its complexities and failures been discussed in a more candid, concise, and wryly sentimental way than in Catullus' poetry. Should be read in the original Latin, if possible."
