Reviews
'his book should not fail to instruct and delight even the most sophisticated reader of Horace.'Religious Studies Review, vol.23, no.1, January 1997, "Professor West takes us closer to understanding [West's] ancient master works. This may not be fashionable literary theory. It is better than that: to help us to understand a great poem is an act of creative poetry itself."--The Times "An extremely thoughtful and lively edition...with helpful and insightful commentary. Easily read."--Jack D. Ferguson, Professor of History,Boise State University "Excellent."--Martin Helzle, Associate Professor,Case Western Reserve University "...such an important contribution to the study of Latin poetry....West's edition is full of new ideas and original interpretations....West's commentary should stimulate much fruitful discussion both among Latin scholars and students.

Synopsis
Horace is the greatest Latin lyric poet, and certainly the most influential. This book provides a new translation of the famous first book of Odes which is both accurate and readable, supported by a basic commentary for students showing how the poems work. The book includes the Oxford Classical Text edition of the Latin text., Though Horace is a great poet, much loved and imitated in the past, he is very little read today. This is partly because he has never been translated into readable English that is also faithful to the Latin original. David West here provides such a translation of one of Horace's greatest works, and supports it with a basic commentary that will help newcomers to Horace--whether students or general readers--to understand how the poetry works.
