Summary:

This volume comprises most of the articles on Latin poetry by the late R. O. A. M. Lyne. Written over more than three decades, they cover the same connected territory-largely Vergil, Horace, and elegy-and together constitute a significant and coherent body of work. Lyne's consistent approach of close reading (one of the traits which made him such an outstanding tutor) means that the articles form a unified whole, while his compelling style as an engaged literary analyst ensures that these are by no means dry or forbidding pieces. This is writing from a world-class Latinist which displays both his diverse interests as a scholar and his consistent concern with Augustan texts, their language and literary texture. It includes some famous and well-known articles and one previously unpublished piece.
