Editorial Reviews
Review
"We can all be grateful that these marvelous poems are now available to a much larger audience of Latinists than was the case before, and that they are accompanied by a nearly flawless translation that I hope will give them currency among the wide general audience they deserve." Paul Pascal, Bryn Mawr Medieval Review
