About this book
Robinson Ellis, Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, and Professor of Latin at University College London, put the poems of Catullus into English in the metres the Roman poet himself used. This John Murray edition of 1871 is dedicated to Alfred Tennyson. Ellis's preface says that Theodor Heyse's German version of 1855 first gave him the idea, and sets out his method: keep the long and short syllables of the Latin verse, not merely the stress. The book gathers the poems and fragments of Catullus.
