Catullus' Bedspread: The Life of Rome's Most Erotic Poet by Daisy Dunn

2.0

I mean. it was kind of valid but it was so frustrating how the author just told us stuff without any explanation!! And if you’ve already read some Catullus. Like. You can tell she’s using the poems to form a biography. but like please how did u get this anecdote because I don’t recognise the poem and there is no endnote!!!

It’s a good intro though. I learnt about poem 64 which I had never actually read in full so I guess there’s that. also, origins of manuscripts and some idea of the chronology. not as valid as I hoped though I guess
