"The Oxford Book of Latin Verse" by H.W. Garrod is a scholarly anthology of Latin poetry covering works from the earliest fragments up to the 5th century A.D., first published in the early 20th century. This collection notably excludes epic and dramatic poetry, focusing on various other forms such as lyrical and didactic works, with careful selections that highlight the most significant poetic fragments of Roman literature. The book aims to provide readers with an insightful representation of Latin poetic traditions, emphasizing the beauty and diversity of expressiveness found in this ancient literary form. At the start of the anthology, the author outlines his selection criteria in the preface, explaining the thematic boundaries of the collection, which excludes certain genres like satire while including key fragments from authors such as Ennius and the early tragedians. The introduction contextualizes the origins of Latin poetry, tracing its roots back to primitive religious ceremonies and the influences that shaped its evolution, including the transition from priestly incantations to the works of prominent poets like Vergil. The opening portion establishes a foundational understanding of the complexities of Roman poetry and its cultural ramifications, preparing readers for the varied poetic experiences that will follow.
