Juvenal, Persius, Martial, and Catullus: An Experiment in Translation is a book written by W.F. Shaw in 1882. The book contains translations of works by four ancient Roman poets: Juvenal, Persius, Martial, and Catullus. Juvenal was a satirist who wrote about the corruption and decadence of Roman society. Persius was a philosopher who wrote about the search for truth and the importance of living a virtuous life. Martial was a poet who wrote about everyday life in Rome, including love, friendship, and the struggles of daily life. Catullus was a lyric poet who wrote about love, passion, and the beauty of nature.Shaw's translations aim to capture the essence of each poet's work while maintaining the original style and tone. The book is considered an experiment in translation because Shaw uses a variety of techniques to convey the meaning of the poems, including rhyme, meter, and free verse. Overall, Juvenal, Persius, Martial, and Catullus: An Experiment in Translation is a unique and valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Roman poetry and the art of translation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
