In this edition of Catullus's poetry, Lee provides a new, reliable text for the scholar and a facing page translation--as faithful to the Latin as possible--for students and the general reader. In addition to a wide selection of Catallus's lyrics, epigrams, themes from romantic legends, and a set of poems dedicated to his lover Lesbia, the book includes a full introduction, explanatory notes to the text and translation, a chronology, and brief bibliography.
