Reviews
Chatfield has provided a useful life, a brief commentary on each work, and textual, metrical, and the occasional substantive note, with a bibliography and index. The pages are bright and uncluttered. There is a generous holding back of the facing Latin text in order to allow the English to catch up, so that the original is always next to its translation...Even in translation, Bembo has a voice of his own. It sounds through the English in his thoughts, moods, and modes; he can be lyrical, didactic, epigrammatic, and epic.

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
