D. R. Shackleton Bailey was Pope Professor of Latin Language and Literature at Harvard University. John T. Ramsey is Emeritus Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Gesine Manuwald is Professor of Latin at University College London and Series Editor of Fragmentary Republican Latin.
If I could make one Christmas wish, it would be that every MP
receives these two volumes in their stocking next week, and is
obliged to recite a passage of Cicero—in D. R. Shackleton Bailey’s
crystalline translation—on Boxing Day morning, to understand how
great speeches are made… The great advantage of the Loeb editions
is that readers who are interested in the language of Rome but
whose Latin is weak (a category in which I am emphatically
included) can compare the original side by side with the
translation. Thus one can get a sense of how Cicero’s words
sounded, before glancing across and seeing them in English… This
translation is throughout a joy to read.
