Welcome to the website for my tutorial, "SELECTIONS FROM CATULLUS: A Guided Reading"

SALVETE, VOS OMNES!! This is the site for my online guided reading of selections from the poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus.

This is an independent self-paced tutorial for adult learners with a strong background in Latin, including ordinarily my full curriculum of tutorials: WHEELOCK'S LATIN (Latin I-II), Ovid, Vergil, and Juvenal, or a reasonably comprehensive equivalent.

This guided reading, like my other tutorials, is asynchronous and highly personalized; we will proceed one poem at a time through selected readings. The recommended texts are:

  • Kenneth Quinn's CATULLUS: THE POEMS (1998), available at various sites online including here and here.
  • The LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY edition + translation by Cornish, et al., 2nd edition, revised by G.P. Goold, available at various sites online including here.

  • Ronnie Ancona's WRITING PASSION: A CATULLUS READER, 2nd edition, available at various sites online including here and here.

If you think you may be interested in applying for this course of study, please email me for further information.
