`The best current translator of Latin poetry, Guy Lee, has now
turned his attention to "The Poems of Catullus" ... this is yet
another distinguished version from Lee's pen which deserves to
become the standard version both for those with Latin and those
studying Catullus in translation, and its author deserves hearty
congratulations.'
Greece and Rome
'the work of a consummate Latinist ... with a desire to communicate
something of the elegance and verbal flair of his original, a
matter close to L.'s heart as the crisp introduction makes plain
... a very persuasive book'
Roland Mayer, King's College, London, The Classical Review, Vol.
