Beskrivning
This collection aims to bring out the continuity between major poets in Latin and English, presenting to a wider audience papers previously published only in academic periodicals along with a number of unpublished pieces. It contains essays on Virgil, Horace, Ovid and Juvenal, which are intended for the reader with a genuine but not necessarily specialised interest in Latin poetry. Corresponding papers on English poets, including Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Swift and Tennyson, emphasise the debt owed to their Roman predecessors. Two more general pieces, on the poetry of romantic love and on classical humanism, further underline the continuity between past and present.

Recensioner i media

This is a fine collection which well displays the scholarly characteristics of its writer: clear, forceful argument based on close, analytical, historicized and intentionalist readings of texts. Bryn Mawr Classical Review. 2006.07.21 The book is attractively produced and nicely bound. The articles would, I think, be accessible to 6th form students, although the considerable variety of topics means that one would not be tempted to buy it to support one particular set book; indeed, it is perhaps better bought by the English Department, rather than Classics. As an overview of Rudd the scholar it is excellent, and it would be an interesting addition to a school library. Journal of Classics Teaching, 9
