The Oxford of Latin Verse is a comprehensive and scholarly anthology of Latin poetry, spanning from the earliest fragments of Roman song to the end of the fifth century. Compiled by the esteemed scholar H.W. Garrod, this collection brings together the finest works of the Roman literary tradition, offering a curated selection that highlights the evolution of Latin poetic forms, rhythms, and themes. Readers will encounter the celebrated verses of masters such as Catullus, Virgil, Horace, and Ovid, alongside significant works from less frequently anthologized poets, providing a panoramic view of the Latin lyrical, epic, and satirical landscape.

The selection focuses on the aesthetic and cultural importance of the poems, capturing the essence of Roman thought, mythology, and daily life. From the philosophical inquiries of Lucretius to the stinging satires of Juvenal and the elegiac beauty of Propertius, the collection serves as an essential resource for students of classics and lovers of world literature alike. The Oxford of Latin Verse remains a foundational text for anyone seeking to explore the depth and variety of Latin poetry, preserving the linguistic brilliance of a civilization that profoundly shaped the Western literary canon.
