Latin Love Lessons by Charlotte Higgins
Looks at all the best bits of Latin love poetry - from Ovid's tips on picking up girls and how to get away with cheating, to Catullus on how to deal with a broken heart and Virgil's textbook case of how not to dump a girlfriend.
Higgins takes the reader on a romp through the naughty bits of ancient verse, from the lewd epigrams of Catullus through to Ovid's instructions to the loverAs she points out...whatever Cosmopolitan might think, Virgil said it better. . . . A funny, gloriously erudite and charming book. * Scotland on Sunday *
