Daniel H. Garrison: Selections from the Student's Catullus for AP and College Latin Volume 66, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Although his poems survived the Middle Ages in only a single copy, Catullus has become a canonical author in our time; his artistry and range place him with Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. And since its first edition, published in 1989, The Student's Catullus has become the definitive introductory text for students. This new edition is expanded and revised to make Catullus more accessible to today's readers.

This new edition includes the following features:

• 15 poems recommended by the College Board to prepare students for AP Latin
• 16 additional poems suitable for advanced high school or intermediate college
• A new design that features expanded English commentary appearing alongside the poem
• Reconsideration of Catullus' nuances and meaning with fidelity to his language, grounded in contemporary ethical understanding
• A Latin-English Catullan vocabulary relevant to each poem
• New maps by John Wyatt Greenlee with place names in Latin

This edition retains these time-proven features of the previous editions: A brief overview of Catullus's life and artistic persona, a Who's Who of the people in Catullus' poems, an explanation of Catullan meters, and a glossary of literary terms used in the commentary. Selections from The Student's Catullus for AP and College Latindraws on decades of classroom experience and retains the effective methods of previous editions while at the same time addressing the needs of today's students.
