Editorial Reviews

Praise for Odes I: "...such an important contribution to the study of Latin poetry....West's edition is full of new ideas and original interpretations....West's commentary should stimulate much fruitful discussion both among Latin scholars and students. This book will be especially valuable to teachers and undergraduate Latin students. Yet, it also merits a wider audience, including those in other fields who require an introduction to Horace and some appreciation of his poetry, whether in Latin or English."—New England Classical Journal
