The Catullan Revolution

Examining the revolution wrought by Catullus in Latin poetry, this volume encapsulates the way in which principles of modern literary criticism could be applied to classical poetry, without ditching the sound philological scholarship of the classical tradition. In its day this book led the way in showing the philologically trained student how to be a critic; equally it can show the critically trained student the importance of a sound philological base today.
