About This Item
Bristol Classical Press, London, 2003. Reprint 2nd ed. XLI,460p. Paperback. Plasticized. Some highlighting, as well as some pen and pencil annotations from pp.1-30. Else fine. This 'is a student's edition of the poems, with its main object 'to discuss each poem as a structural and poetic whole that the kind of sense a poem can be expected to make to the attentive, responsive reader.' In this on the whole I judge that he is successful. (...) Quinn's style of criticism is one of which will, in Pound's words, 'give praise to beauty before referring to an almanack', and there is here no superfluity of learning.' (E.J. KENNEY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1973, p.165).

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
