Description

Alan Melvilles accomplished translations match the sophisticated elegance of Ovids Latin. Their witty modern idiom is highly entertaining. In this volume he has included the brilliant version of the Art of Love by Moore, published more than fifty years ago and still unequalled; the small revisions he has made will enhance the readers admiration for Moores achievement.
