«From Bed to Bed» is a collection of poems by Catullus, published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson History in paperback (64 pages, in Latin).
The selection brings together poems by Catullus in which love and desire are expressed with a frankness unusual for his time. Written for a cultured circle of friends, his verses alternate sensual passion with subtlety and can be direct or even bawdy; several focus on Lesbia and the poet's changing relationship with her.
This edition, published in 1995, belongs to the Phoenix 60p Paperbacks collection, dedicated to the literature of passion.
For readers of classical poetry seeking a direct and sensual view of love and desire.
Gaius Valerius Catullus, known as Catullus, was a Latin neoteric poet of the late Roman Republic. His surviving works remain widely read due to their popularity as teaching tools and because of their personal or sexual themes.
