Abstract

This is the second major translation of Lucan to appear in the English-speaking world, following the publication in 1988 of P. F. Widdows' verse rendition by Indiana University Press. At the time this reviewer, like others, acclaimed Widdows' Lucan as excellent, but now here is Braund's version, also in verse and also of high quality. Comparison of Widdows and Braund is inevitable and indeed imperative, especially for the purchaser with an eye to economy who will have to decide whether to spend $47.50 for Widdows or the astonishing sum of almost twice that much for Braund.
