A Selection

Statius Publius Papinius
In this delightful homage to the now unfashionable Neapolitan poet, two contemporary poets who share a fascination with his work present their selection of fresh versions from his best-known collection. In their introductions they explore the background to his work and the qualities, literary and human, which drew them to him.

About the Author

Publius Papinius Statius (c. AD 45-96) was a prize-winning poet whose reputation remained high until well into the Middle Ages. He featured both in Chaucer's House of Fame (as "Stace") and in Dante's Divine Comedy, where he is called "il dolce poeta".
