Great Translation by Martin. Highly Accessible.,
By H. Hawkins (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Catullus (Hermes Books) (Paperback)
After doing a lot of research into Catullus translations for a class, I picked this book. His edition is 1) complete and 2) consistently good. His use of modern slang and idioms is pretty convincing, and this is absolutely crucial since Catullus' poetry involves so much use of lively street expressions. Catullus selections in anthologies almost never reproduce the really filthy poems... I highly recommend the complete Martin translation for a more balanced view!
