Synopsis
Though Horace is a great poet, much loved and imitated in the past, he is very little read today. This is partly because he has never been translated into readable English that is also faithful to the Latin original. David West here provides such a translation of one of Horace's greatest works, and supports it with a basic commentary that will help newcomers to Horace--whether students or general readers--to understand how the poetry works.

Review
David West takes a refreshing approach insofar as academic questions are sobered by looking at how the poems work as poems. (Quadrant No.405)
West, long recognized as an adept interpreter of the poet, includes a useful translation in this volume. The notes contain insightful observations on the elements of a Horatian ode ... his book should not fail to instruct and delight even the most sophisticated reader of Horace. (Religious Studies Review)
Professor West takes us closer to understanding his ancient master works. This may not be fashionable literary theory. It is better than that: to help us to understand a great poem is an act of creative poetry itself. (The Times)

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Reprint. 1992. xiii, 203pp. "Horace is a great poet, much loved and imitated in the past, and in recent years much better understood as a result of the learned commentaries of Nisbet and Hubbard (1970, 1978) and Syndikus (1972, 1973). Yet today he is little read. This is partly because he has never been translated into English which is both close to the Latin and readable. The aim of this book is to provide such a translation and support it by a commentary which will help newcomers to Horace, whether or not they know Latin, to understand how the poetry works. It should also stimulate and provoke students of Latin and Roman history by propounding interpretations which are not always in line with current orthodoxies." The book is in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean. Seller Inventory # ClassHorace17
