More about the book

The poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus, a prominent figure of the late Roman Republic, showcases a departure from classical epic themes, embracing the Neoterics' avant-garde style. His work highlights playful language and intricate allusions, focusing on contemporary subjects rather than mythological heroes. Among his notable themes are his passionate poems about "Lesbia," believed to be Clodia Metelli. This collection features all 116 surviving poems, presented on premium acid-free paper and translated by Robinson Ellis.
