The best of classical Latin poetry in a vital English verse translation described by early readers as "superb." Ms. Wen der, who is a published creative writer as well as a classicist, has done much with her unflinching translations to re store the power wielded by the original poems. She has increased the usefulness and accessibility of her collection by pro viding a lively introduction to each of the nine poets she presents in transla tion. When little is known about the poet himself, she places him within a coterie of contemporaries who are better known. The poets and works presented are: Catullus, Songs ; Lucretius, Selec tions from De Rerum Natura ; Virgil, Eclogues 2 and 4 and selections from the Georgics ; Horace, Satire 1, 9 ("The Bore") and selected Odes ; Propertius, Elegies ; Tibullus, Elegy 1, 1; Ovid, Amores and "Echo and Narcissus" from Metamorphoses ; Martial, Epigrams ; and Juvenal, Satire 3 ("The City of Rome").
