Reviews

"This translation is highly enjoyable, giving a Latinless reader a vivid impression of these self-conscious poems."
*Times Literary Supplement*

"The best edition available of the 'Satires' in English. . . . Highly recommended."
*Choice*

"A delight to read-full of fiendishly clever rhymes that the old master of dactylic hexameter himself would have relished."
*Anthony Esolen, Providence College*
