The Gold Standard of Catullus Texts,
This review is from: The Poems of Catullus (Paperback)
Forsyth is by far the best text I have ever used for teaching Catullus. Her notes are, in a word, superb. Her perspective combines impeccable scholarship and lucid analysis with a unique charm and wit that provides a wonderful extension of the spirit of the poet himself. This is no turgid tome; it is alive and fun to read. Forsyth does not shy away from the sexual poems; she discusses them with keen insight into the sexual practices of the ancient world. This book, together with Wiseman's Catullus and his World, is all you need to teach Catullus.
