Epistles Book I: Bk.1 (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics) Book

The introduction discusses fully the invention of the new poetic form and the carefully devised style in which the letters are composed. There is also discussion of the addressees and of the main topics, as well as of the lay-out of the poems and the organisation of the book as a whole.
