Julia Haig Gaisser's introduction gives an overview of recent developments in Catullan scholarship, while the readings themselves cover such issues as neoteric poetics, theory, allusion and intertext, obscenity, invective and Lesbia's infamous 'dirty sparrow'. All Latin and Greek quotations are translated. | ||||

| One of the most exciting literary discoveries of recent years has been the Milan Papyrus which contains previously unknown epigrams by the 3rd century BCE poet, Posidippus of Pella, and is also our earliest example of a Greek poetry book that is roughly contemporary with its author. Fifteen scholars have contributed to this volume of essays on the poems, their arrangement within the book, and the author in his Ptolemaic context; plus a complete translation of all Posidippus' surviving poetry by Frank Nisetich. | ||||
