Title: Interesting Translation Helped Me with Reading the Latin
Review: I bought this long out-of-print Penguin Classic of Tibullus' poems (trans. Philip Dunlop, 1972). I have enjoyed using it along side my Loeb edition of Tibullus (with Latin and English facing translations) as it helped give me one more interpretation of the Latin. Dunlop is (was?) one of those British schoolteachers of a previous generation who seemed to once make so many translations of ancient poets available to general readers. I recommend digging this up and using it along side the Loeb Tibullus (in the Loeb Library, Tibullus is included in the volume of Catullus, by the way) and also with Guy Lee's version, also called Tibullus, published by Francis Cairns.
Is the review positive or negative?
