Présentation de l'éditeur:

"Is this a book on textual criticism?", asks theauthor in his preface. "To the extent that it is, a number ofindividual passages in Catullus are examined in the first chapter.Chapter 2 is devoted to a close reading of the language of Catullus68a. In the final chapter the author hypothecates an interpretation ofOvid Heroides 1 and proceeds, with circularity, to make the text accord with it. Who speaks in the end, Ovid or the editor?" 307p (Cambridge Classical Press 2009)
