Propertius I
edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by Robert J. Baker
What was it like to be in love in Rome? Th 22 poems of Sextus Propertius' first book of elegies (publisehed in 28 B.C.) offer an answer. Defiantly un-Roman in his devotion to love for his Cynthia and to his art, Propertius writes with a strangely modern voice - passionate, wry, self-scrutinising and ironic. But it is a voice that has been shaped and controlled by a literary tradition already centries old. This revised edition of Book I provides, ...

Sallust: The War Against Jugurtha
edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by Michael Comber and Catalina Balmaceda
The Roman historian C. Sallustius Crispus, better known as Sallust, decided to write about the war against the Numidian king Jugurtha, 'because it was a long and cruel struggle in which fortune swung from side to side; and secondly, because it was then for the first time that a stand was taken against the arrogance of the nobles'.

In treating this act the dramatist explores the boundaries of madness and Hercles' painful emergence from this state to a bitter realisation of what he has done. A further contrast is drawn between the callous gods who cause the ...

Plautus: Bacchides
with an introduction, translation and commentary by J. A. Barsby. ~
Plautus' Bacchides is one of the best and most typical of his
plays which in its treatment of character, theme and dialogue
provides an excellent introduction to Plautus. Since the
rediscovery of a passage from its Greek model, Menander's Dis
Exapaton, it is now in the fore-front of scholarly discussion as
direct comparisons can now be made of style and methods. The
line-by-line verse translation aims to reproduce ...

Joseph of Exeter: The Trojan War I-III
with an introduction, translation and commentary by A. K. Bate~
Joseph wrote his epic around the year 1180, and revised it at
the court of Henry II of England where he had obtained some sort
of post through the influence of his uncle, Baldwin, Archbishop
of Canterbury. The work is one of a series of texts in Latin and
Anglo-Norman, apparently commissioned by the King, helping to
trace back the Plantagenet line to the Trojans. It is a pendant
to the Anglo-Norman Roman de ...
