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.
