CATULLUS, The Poems. Edited with Introduction, Revised Text and Commentary by K. Quinn. Bristol Classical Press, London, 2003. Reprint 2nd ed. XLI,460p. Paperback. Plasticized. Some highlighting, as well as some pen and pencil annotations from pp.1-30. Else fine. This 'is a student's edition of the poems, with its main object 'to discuss each poem as a structural and poetic whole that the kind of sense a poem can be expected to make to the attentive, responsive reader.' In this on the whole I judge that he is successful. (...) Quinn's style of criticism is one of which will, in Pound's words, 'give praise to beauty before referring to an almanack', and there is here no superfluity of learning.' (E.J. KENNEY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1973, p.165). € 18.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9781853994975
