Items related to Horace: Odes (Latin Texts)
Synopsis
The Odes of Horace are the cornerstone of lyric poetry in the Western world. This edition of the Odes was first published in the outstanding ‘red Macmillan' series, in which it finally replaced the late nineteenth century edition of T.E. Page.
Quinn's edition is designed to meet the need for a modern approach to students in upper school and university. He begins with the assumption that Horace is a major poet, and that the Odes should be recognised and enjoyed as poetry. The commentary provides linguistic aid at the appropriate level but also attempts to reconstruct the thesis upon which each poem rests, and to interpret it as a structural and poetic whole for the attentive and responsive reader.

From the Back Cover
"J. D. McClatchy's extraordinary collection gives us the richest version of Horace's odes ever made available in English."--Harold Bloom
"This is an invigorating book. A veritable parnassium of poets has brought us Horace, not just in today's terms but in yesterday's glory. No doubt each reader will prefer this translation to that, but it is a choice among succulents. With schoolroom dust removed, here is a poet as bright as every day, yet sober as a man who has felt twilight's arrival in every dawn."--William H. Gass
