[From the library of noted scholar Richard A. Macksey.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. Contemporary signature of Macksey on front end page, else unmarked. viii, 188 pages ; 25 cm. "The poetic personality of Catullus, elegant and mannered Alexandrian versifier on the one hand and, on the other, poet of personal emotion and lyric intensity, has never been satisfactorily resolved. Style and Tradition in Catullus approaches old questions on a new basis: the poetic personality is unified; the poetic diversity derives from the literary traditions in which Catullus wrote." "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.
