Reviews
'W. brings the ancient text to new life on every page and provokes insight into (and admiration for) this 'exceptional and much loved author' even when the reader may disagree with the commentator. This book proves (if proof were needed) that a lifetime reading Horace is indeed a lifetime very well spent.' John Godwin, Classics for All
