A commentary on Horace: Odes, Book III / by R.G.M. Nisbet and Niall Rudd. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2004. - xxx, 389 p. ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"This book is a continuation of the standard commentaries by Nisbet and Hubbard. It takes critical account of recent bibliography, offers fresh ideas on text and interpretation, and relates the poet to the literary, political, and religious background of Augustan Rome. R.G.M. Nisbet and Niall Rudd underline Horace's humour at the expense of himself and others, but, while recognizing a tension between his private personality and the loyalties of a court-poet, they resist the modern tendency to regard him as unknowable.
Although the text of the Odes is not printed separately, the headings to the notes provide a continuous text. In the few cases where the editors disagree both opinions are summarized." -- Publisher's description.
