Jeff’s Reviews > The Poems of Catullus: A Dual-Language Edition with Parallel Text > Status Update

The most readable and with the least to criticize. Some of the translations are a little flat or bland, at worst. The notes and introduction are fantastic. I'm starting with this translation first in my Catullus summer extravaganza.

A really good introduction with a generous overview of other recent translations, clear notes that include a gloss of each poem as well as information for specific lines, and the translations themselves are so far very readable! Probably the best of the bunch I've read so far for someone's first Catullus but I'm only a handful of poems in, so we'll see.
