ISBN: 0198721617 ISBN-13: 9780198721611 Publisher: Clarendon Press OUR PRICE: $86.45 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: September 1995 Annotation: Though Horace is a great poet, much loved and imitated in the past, he is very little read today. This is partly because he has never been translated into readable English that is also faithful to the Latin original. David West here provides such a translation of one of Horace's greatest works, and supports it with a basic commentary that will help newcomers to Horace--whether students or general readers--to understand how the poetry works. |
