"...offers an anthology of Augustan Poetry in translation, and, as the Preface indicates, is ‘designed for the general reading public and for students and teachers in courses on literature in the Augustan Age'... The selections are rich, varied, and broad-ranging enough to satisfy most instructors' (or readers') needs; the translations are sensitive, accurate, and certainly readable. Indeed, the translations alone represent an impressive achievement..." -- Alain Gowing, University of Washington.
