Reviews

"This translation is highly enjoyable, giving a Latinless reader a vivid impression of these self-conscious poems."—Times Literary Supplement

"The best edition available of the 'Satires' in English. . . . Highly recommended."—Choice

"A delight to read—full of fiendishly clever rhymes that the old master of dactylic hexameter himself would have relished."—Anthony Esolen, Providence College
