Summary: | "When Professor Frederic M. Wheelock's Latin first appeared in 1956, the reviews extolled its thoroughness, organization, and conciseness; one reviewer predicted that the book 'might well become the standard text' for introducing students to elementary Latin. Now, five decades later, that prediction has certainly proved accurate. This new edition of Wheelock's Latin has all the features, many of them improved and expanded, that have made it the best-selling single-volume beginning Latin textbook: 40 chapters with grammatical explanations and readings drawn from the works of Rome's major prose and verse writers ; Self-tutorial exercises, each with an answer key, for independent study ; An extensive English-Latin/Latin-English vocabulary section ; A rich selection of original Latin readings--unlike other textbooks, which contain primarily made-up texts ; Etymological aids, maps, and dozens of images illustrating aspects of classical culture and mythology presented in the chapter readings. Also included are expanded notes on the literary passages, comments on vocabulary, and translation tips; new comprehension and discussion questions; and new authentic classical Latin readings, including Roman graffiti, in every chapter."--Back cover |
