ordering information

Wheelock’s Latin Reader, newly revised and updated by Richard A. LaFleur,is the ideal text for students who have completed Wheelock's 6th or 7th editions or for any intermediate-level Latin course. You’ll find a rich selection of prose and poetry from a wide range of classical authors, as well as briefer passages from medieval and Latin writers, each presented in the Latin in which it was originally written.

Useful features include extensive notes; a complete Latin-English vocabulary; maps of ancient Italy, Greece, and the Roman Empire; and numerous photographs illustrating aspects of classical culture, mythology, and history featured in the readings.

Praise for Wheelock's Latin Reader:

This [new second edition] is unique among Latin readers in that it can be used with success following any elementary Latin text.... What makes this reader outstanding is the wide selection of readings. Classical, post-classical, patristic/late-antique, and medieval selections (ca. 3,400 lines spanning some 1,400 years) introduce students early on to the breadth and wealth of Latin literature.... The variety...will allow teachers to adapt to any methodology or learner-type, and to appeal to classicists and non-majors at both the high-school and post-secondary levels, while the readings--poetry, prose, philosophy, letters, legal advice, et al.--allow the spirit of Latin literature to speak for itself.  [complete review] –Professor Cynthia White, University of Arizona, in The Classical Outlook

“The passages from Cicero, Livy, Ovid and Pliny are adequate to reveal the style of each, and easy enough to be read with some rapidity. The inclusion of something from medieval Latin and the Vulgate is a particularly happy innovation, and certainly all students exposed to Latin should be aware of the poems with which the book ends.” –Modern Language Journal

[Wheelock’s Latin Reader] is a solid companion to [Wheelock’s Latin] and deserves wide circulation as a practical introduction to the humanism of Ancient Rome.” –The Classical Bulletin

“The widespread adoption of Wheelock’s introductory Latin is a tribute to its mature approach. His reader is a worthy continuation.” –Classical World

"The text is good. Which is not surprising of a Frederic M. Wheelock text, revised by Rick LaFleur. Helpful glosses, and an all around delight. Tell your friends." –D.D. Farms
