Alan Melville’s accomplished translations match the sophisticated elegance of Ovid’s Latin. Their witty modern idiom is highly entertaining. In this volume he has included the brilliant version of the Art of Love by Moore, published more than fifty years ago and still unequalled; the small revisions he has made will enhance the reader’s admiration for Moore’s achievement.
