Summary
The quotations above are the concluding remarks respectively of Marilyn Skinner’s magisterial 2007 overview of the arrangement of Catullus’ poems, of Ian Du Quesnay and Tony Woodman’s equally authoritative retrospect of their 2012 volume on Catullus, and of Gail Trimble’s fine review essay of that volume. These pronouncements are offered as epigraphs marking the points of departure, and to some extent the ultimate ambitions, of this work.
