Ovid's three books of personal love elegies are arguably his most attractive work. In this new edition of Amores II Dr Booth offers a Latin text with parallel prose translation and on each poem or pair of poems a critical essay written especially for the reader with little or no Latin. For the more advanced scholars she also provides a traditional line by line commentary on the Latin text and a generously select apparatus criticus.
Joan Booth is Lecturer in Classics, University College of Swansea.
