Klappentext zu „The Gnat and Other Minor Poems of Virgil “
These delightful poems-by turns whimsical, beautiful, and vulgar-seem to have primarily survived because they were attributed to Virgil. But in David R. Slavitt's imaginative and appealing translations, they stand firmly on their own merits. Slavitt brings to this little-known body of verse a fresh voice, vividly capturing the tone and style of the originals while conveying a lively sense of fun.

Rezension zu „The Gnat and Other Minor Poems of Virgil “
"David Slavitt is the most fluent and imaginative translator of Latin verse working today, and this collection of Virgilian poems testifies to his skill, sensitivity, and wit. Slavitt brings to this odd and little-known body of verse a real voice. Whether or not the poems are Virgil's is, in the end, less important than the fact that, by the end of this book, these poems have become truly Slavitt's."
