The book includes the Oxford Classical Text edition of the Latin text. This book is intended for students, mainly undergraduate but some sixth form, of Latin Literature on Classics courses and Classics and English courses. Latin text with translation and commentary by: West, David (Professor Emeritus of Latin, University of Newcastle);

David West takes a refreshing approach insofar as academic questions are sobered by looking at how the poems work as poems* Quadrant No.405 *
West, long recognized as an adept interpreter of the poet, includes a useful translation in this volume. The notes contain insightful observations on the elements of a Horatian ode ... his book should not fail to instruct and delight even the most sophisticated reader of Horace. * Religious Studies Review *
Professor West takes us closer to understanding his ancient master works. This may not be fashionable literary theory. It is better than that: to help us to understand a great poem is an act of creative poetry itself. * The Times *
