The Cambridge History of Classical Literature: Volume 2, Latin Literature, Part 2, The Late Republic KENNEY, E. J. (University of Cambridge) ; Clausen, W. V. (Harvard University, Massachusetts)

This volume covers the first three-quarters of the first century BC; an age which had enduring consequences for the subsequent history of Latin literature. The scene was dominated by two figures: Cicero and Catallus. This book shows how these and other Roman writers helped transform their traditional Greek models into new, vigorous Latin forms.
