	Catullus, U. of Saskatchewan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Catullus does not seem to be indignant at any illegal activity on the part of these governors, however, but rather at the fact that neither he nor his friends were able to profit from their service as part of these governors' cohorts.
		Catullus thus represents a social as well as a literary phenomenon, providing us with a glimpse of the life and concerns of a wealthy and talented member of the equestrian class in the midst of the turmoil of the Late Republic.
		In this sense Catullus' poetry serves as a useful corrective to the gloomy picture conveyed by the violent and chaotic politics of this period: it is clear that, despite the uncertainties of the times, for many people life went along its usual course.

		The second date cannot be true: that Catullus was alive in 55 is proved by his references to Pompey's second consulship (113.2), to the Porticus Pompeii (55.6), and to Caesar's invasion of Britain (11.12, 29.4), but he makes no references to any event after 55.
		Catullus' last message to her (11) was probably written in 55 or 54.

		Catullus' 116 extant poems were mostly written between 61 and 54 BC but cannot be dated exactly.
		In his lifetime, Catullus was a poet's poet, addressing himself to fellow craftsmen (docti, or scholarly poets), especially to his friend Licinius Calvus.
		To the degree that Catullus shared such conceptions of what might be called poetic scholarship, he is to be numbered in the company of Gerard Manley Hopkins, T.S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound rather than with the Romantics.

		Nappa finds Catullus' 'common poetic program' to be 'one of sustained scrutiny and criticism of Roman society, a project sometimes openly satirical, at other times subtle and subversive, working by creating a character both resistant to and collusive with the society in which he lives' (p.
		But poem 61 is entirely positive about marriage; the boys in poem 62 are also positive about marriage, and their view prevails; and the marriage of Peleus and Thetis in poem 64 is, for the most part, portrayed in a very idyllic way.

		It isn't known for sure when Catullus died; some antique sources tell he died from exhaustion at the age of 30.

	CATULLAN EXTREMISM IN FORTUNATUS’ POEMS TO AGNES
		The line in Fortunatus' poem marks its midpoint, and the diction owed to Catullus 63 adds, by its emphatic placement at the line's end, to the interpretive moves the poet manages.
		Just then, as the poem reaches its midpoint, the phrase from Catullus 63 helps to develop the picture of excess Fortunatus paints, for the words that commend Agnes' "radiant little eyes" link to the precise moment in Catullus 63 when Attis awakens from his night of revelry to discover that he has eunichized himself.
		For, in verses in which the poet asserts Agnes' purity, Fortunatus alludes to a moment in Catullus' wedding hymn in which purity is challenged by images of chastity too vigorously pursued (vv.

		In that volume, she describes herself as "overwriting the past like a palimpsest." The versions of Catullus in Poems of Love and Hate can likewise be read as poems inspired by Catullus and can best be judged as translations if we allow the translator a degree of autonomy.
		As Catullus now rivals Virgil and Ovid as the most popular Latin poet (and is unrivaled as the most intimate), he is fair game for the popularizer.
		This version reads best without a Latin Catullus near at hand, as B. is selective in what effects she will track closely and what others she will add that are not in the original.

		The "Epithalamion" is a wedding song derived from Latin originals (e.g., Catullus #62) which, in the earliest days of the empire, actually were sung by choirs of young men and women who accompanied the bride and groom from her parents' house to her future husband's family's house where they would spend the wedding night.
		The most often-noted is the "Epithalamion," which was a form Catullus wrote in on three occasions.
		Spenser's ability to write poetry at all, and his knowledge of the classics, can be explained only by his education at the Merchant Taylors' School, founded in 1561 for the children of tradesmen.
