Statius, I, Silvae

Statius

Edited and translated by D. R. Shackleton Bailey

    Both the classicist and the casual reader of Latin poetry owe a debt of gratitude to Shackleton Bailey for making this difficult collection of poems accessible in a scholarly yet eminently readable edition that may help Statius' occasional poetry to participate in the renewal of interest which the poet's epic production is currently experiencing.
