| This volume follows the established format of the Oxford Readings series, conveniently bringing together 25 provocative articles first published between 1951 and 2000, as well as three short pieces by Renaissance scholars. 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.
