Catullus, who lived from about 84 to 54 BC, was one of ancient Rome’s most gifted, versatile and passionate poets.Living at a time of radical social change at the end of the Roman Republic, he belonged to a group of young poets who embraced Hellenistic forms to forge a new literary style. Catullus appears in his poems as a complex figure: erudite, earthy, confessional yet self-aware, he was both a provincial from the Italian countryside and a streetwise gentleman of Rome.
In this accessible short book Amanda Kolson Hurley explores the many facets of Catullus’ poetry, discussing in detail over twenty of his most important poems, ranging from obscene and abusive epigrams to delicate lyrics and formal wedding hymns. Catullus relates many of his poems in the first person, and may therefore seem an artlessly sincere narrator, yet this impression is misleading. Hurley examines the skilful rhetoric the poet employs to gain his reader’s sympathy, and confronts a major difficulty involved in reading Catullus: while the autobiographical hints in his most famous poems make us want to learn more about him, much of his history has been lost. The book presents the poet’s work clearly in the context of ancient Roman culture and society, and looks at the reception of Catullus in English literature, a tradition that has shaped modern thinking about the poet.
