by Ronnie Ancona
Teachers can use this wiki to discuss all things related to this book. Follow the links to add and update content relating to Catullus, his poems, commentary, further reading, and more!
The passion and immediacy of Catullus' lyrics can for readers obscure the complexity of his poems' moods and subjects. Informed by the latest in Catullan scholarship, Ronnie Ancona gives Catullus' poems their due. Writing Passion: A Catullus Reader presents the forty-two poems that are required reading for the 2005 AP Latin Literature Exam. (The current Catullus syllabus for 2007-08 is still the same.) The format includes line-by-line notes and vocabulary and a variety of enhancements, making it easily accessible to both teachers and students. A separate teacher's guide is also available.
