Sinopsis

&ldquo,Roz Kaveney',s modern adaptations of Catullus', poems bring them right up to date &ndash, in all their, sometimes shocking, &lsquo,new-ness&rsquo,: a good reminder how edgy ancient poetry could be.&rdquo,&ndash, Mary Beard, Professor of Classics, University of Cambridge&ldquo,To make Catullus&rsquo, much-translated poems seem surprising and fresh is a rare achievement &ndash, but nothing less than the most scabrous, the most tender of Roman poets deserves. A wonderful feat.&rdquo,&ndash, Tom Holland, historian and novelist&ldquo,Hilarious, poignant, mischievous, distraught, Roz Kaveney&rsquo,s twinkling versions capture the staggering range of Catullus&rsquo, poetic moods, subjects, and formsá &hellip, She nails the jokes, uproariously, brilliantly sees how Catullus&rsquo, world and ours superimpose &hellip,&rdquo,&ndash, Nick Lowe, Reader in Classics, Royal Holloway UniversityIn a great time for female translators of Catullus, Roz Kaveney',s versions are a particular delight. With her use of language and verse structure, she seems to capture the authentic voice of the poet.&ndash, Tony Keen,áAdjunct Assistant Professor, University of Notre Dame
